Hi,

I'm looking for recommendations for a good Jeep Mechanic in Maryland
(preferably not too far from Columbia). My transfer case is toast,
and dealership prices are no longer an option on my '91 Wrangler.

Thanks,
Bruce

Hey Bruce,
There is a shop called European motors in Catonsville that will work
on non euro cars also. They are very good mechanics, but not cheap.
Not dealer prices though. I would trust them for something I couldn't
do myself on my jeep.

What happened to your tcase ? How do you know it is toast ? I ask
because I am suspicious of my tcase on my 91 YJ 4.0. what happens when
the tcase fails ? Does the drive chain slip or does it not work at all
?

There is a place right off Rt. 1 in Jessup called Jack's Jeeps (I think
that's the name).

If your heading south on Rt. 1 from 175 go about 2.5 miles and right after
Guilford Rd. and right before the on ramp to Rt. 32 is a small industrial
park. Turn right into the park and then left, the shop is on the right.

Not sure how there service is but they are always busy.

Thanks for the reply. I had found numerous references to Jack's Jeeps
in the news groups, but have been unable to find them. I can't find a
phone listing for them, and an old phone number that I found on the
internet (301-490-2083) has been disconnected. I think they may have
gone out of business.

If I'm wrong, and you have current contact info for them, please let
me know.

Thanks,
Bruce

My transfer case makes a horrible whining sound when I drive. Henry
Gay Jeep in Laurel tells me it needs replacing because it has been
running dry.

I had the misfortune of taking it to Antwerpen Jeep in Catonsville a
few months ago for a clutch problem. They misdiagnosed the problem
(for $1000 in unnecessary repairs) and screwed up what they did do. I
had to take it there 4 times for things to work properly. Once they
even forgot to hook up the 4WD shifter, so when I went to put it in
4WD nothing happened. Anyway, it looks like I can add one more item
to their long list of screw-ups -- they didn't bother to put any
lubricant in the transfer case when they put it back on.

I regret the day I ever let them touch my Jeep. I had always had a
good experience with Henry Gay Jeep, but they couldn't give me an
appointment for a week and a half, and I couldn't wait that long.

Regards,
Bruce
