147 Prater Rd.

Ruthi,

I have never heard of the place, but Google pulled up Choo Choo TIRE shop. Not sure it that is what you want, here you go anyways.

1633 Shepherd Rd # B
Chattanooga, TN 37421-2945
(423) 899-0508‎

You might try posting the phone # that you have, and we can google that, to see if it pulls anything up.

God bless,

John

Looks like Dallas's and my posts just crossed. I would guess that it is Dallas's address, since I was shooting blind.....

Thanks Dallas. We used him a while back. We need to be hauled there. Yoke broke out of bus, and fell out on the highway, big mess. Anyhow, thanks for the fast reply. Couldnt find where you sent it to me before. We have to get the new bus on the road. Ruthi

oops, sorry, that's Prater road, not Pratter!. Some day I should learn to type.

Note: On Google Maps and others, the address comes up in the wrong place on the map.

Here is a map to the correct physical location:

I'm impressed with these replies; but I'm at an impressionable age! LOL Yours in particular was awsome, BK. This board is the greatest.

So these guys have a good shop? If so, I will save their info. We go through there regularly, and never know when you will break down.

BTW, Ruthi, I am relatively new on here. What do you guys do? Are you full timers?

God bless,

John

Ruthi's bus is now safely tucked in at the Choo Choo Express garage.

No thanks required! Jest doing what comes natural! Been there, done that, got a closet full of the T-shirts to prove it

! ( HTR has a link to a picture to prove it! LOL)
We know what it's like to be broke down or have a driver broke down and it ain't no fun! (especially with 30-59 angry passengers on board!!)

John when it comes to GM, Eagle, Flex and older MCI's or any 2 stroke Mr. Bowen and Joel are an awesome source of information and service!
Joel is the one who found and fixed my MAJOR oil leak on the Setra I brought back from Idaho 1676 miles door to door and leaked (pumped out) 12 gallons of oil and 2 gallons of LUCUS (no CF-2 40W available @ the time!) and did it cheaper than I could have done it myself!
Then when we lost 4 valve rockers and posts on one head in a 6V92 (he couldn't believe we drove it in!), he swapped the engine/trans combo w/one I sent down to him cheaper & faster than I could have!
When it comes to buses Joel knows his stuff! He's worked for Mr. Bowen for close to 30 yrs!
He may not know Setra's and newer buses like he does the older ones but he's good and can get'r done! Keep the info handy if ya ever need help in Choo-Choo they are the ones to call!

Thanks again Mike. And I'm sorry I didn't call you. I'm just used to calling Mr. B, Joel, or Mike Hill when I need someone or thing down there!

Busted Knuckle · August 06, 2009, 08:52:24 PM

Oh yeah Ruthi,
I did get ahold of Mike Hill and he told me to call Joel, and I did but had to leave voice mail! (I did leave Ken's # for him!)

Thanks to all, this board is awesome, best around. Can one of you call me and give me the phone numbers for some of the guys there to contact to see what they have found out about our bus. I am not for sure whose number we have now,but,havent gotten an answer. John, we install hair salons in the super walmarts, so we work out of the bus, and mostly live out of it too. We are rarely home. Oh, ph. number is 478-forefivesextreetreefivefore

Ruthi,
I just spoke to Joel about an hr ago (quitt'n time).
I didn't see this request until now, but I will call Joel back and ask him to calll ya'll with an update when he has 1!
It seems that with Mr. Bowen in the Horsepital (taken from Cody's description) Joel is not hearing or for what ever reason answering the phone.

Joel told me he has not yet checked it totally out, and does not know the extent of the damages yet!
He did tell me that what ever locked up and caused all this, did some MAJOR DAMAGE!
He said it snapped one yoke clean off and broke the other one off as well! I don't remember which one was worse, but it really don't matter at this point a broken transmission yoke and rearend yoke at the same time means one (or more) of 3 things locked up! 1) rearend, 2) transmission, 3) engine!

I may not get a hold of him until AM (I have to call him about something else then anyway!), but I promise you I'll give him the msg then.
As a general rule I don't give out personal #'s without asking first! Of course bizness #'s are a different story, I give those quick!
If you have not heard from Joel or either Mike tomorrow afternoon call me and remind me!

BK
