I told him that I would put a feeler out for some recommended shops near him. I'm not from the area so I don't know of any off the top of my head, so that's where you all come in!

He's a mechanical guy and will likely want to be involved at some level, but the reality is he travels and is very busy with his job, so he would need someone to complete the majority of the work.
A good shop to have this type of work done is Lakeside Rods and Rides in Rockwell City,Iowa. This shop does excellent work and is reasonable on price.

Thought of a couple more smaller local shops:

T&T Enterprises, Wheatland, IA

Larry's Auto Shop, McCausland, IA 563.225.6431
