Title: Need new to me Ford mechanic
Post by: bassquatch on August 11, 2018, 05:21:09 PM: Hello everyone, my Ford mechanic has moved and I am looking to establish myself with a new 'go to' Ford tech! I have a 2005 F350 with the 6.8 V-10 and 138k. Been a great truck so far but closing in on some needed refreshing. Can anyone recommend a knowledgeable / trustworthy service tech or dare I say 'dealership'? I would prefer not using a dealership but if there's a reputable one worth visiting these days I would give them a try.

I am in the Arlington area but can travel if necessary. Thank you in advance :tup:

Charlie Crosson and his #1 mechanic, Chris, are two of the best and most honest auto mechanics I have ever done business with. Our family has been taking our vehicles to Crosson's for around 30 years, without a single complaint. My only problem with them is that they are so busy keeping their customers happy that often appointment times are 3 weeks, or more, out.

Second, third, and fourth, this. Just picked up my F350 yesterday, and as always, I cannot speak highly enough about his service. Located in Kenmore, but worth the drive, even for me coming from the opposite end of Lake Washington.

I dont know their work, but can attest that they are booked out 3+ weeks. I called them in late July for a leaking water pump and was told "booked solid until August 24th"
