My mechanic has feel off the map!!! anyone in VA?

so the mechanic that i was going to have my gears installed with has fell off the map, vacation, dead, prison, something. will not answer the phone or call back in 10 days. I feel like i live in utah or something where there is only dirt at rock cause i can't find anyone to do this install. well.. at a reasonable rate... $870 for just labor.. you gotta be kidding me. Anybody now any SW Virginia shops to install gears for less than making me brave it myself?

For $870 labor you could take a small vacation and have your gears put in by a top notch shop.

We pay 250 on average for a gear/axle install and normally another 50 if they are rebuilding the Tloc. It might even be cheap for you to drive to michigan to get it done, lol.

sorry bro,...best i could do. If it makes you feel any better, i live in ohio, and i drove to alabama to get my truck tuned by doug of bamachips. I also on a seperate trip drove to SC to PRO DYNO to have Dan tune my truck. And the closest trip was to PA to Powerhouse to have mike tune it... and the truck still blew up! Ya! None of them were able to figure out the issues...thats a whole nother story...
