I’ve got the dreaded cold start, timing chain issue going on in my 2013 F150. I live in Hastings and was wondering if anyone had a mechanic in the area they thought would do a good job on this. It seems like it might be a dealer issue as a lot of places I’ve talked to don’t even want to look at a job this big. I’ve never dealt with Hastings Ford before On something this major. Apple Valley Ford wants me to drop my car off and it’s one to three days just to get them to look at it. Any suggestions for the Hastings area?

As far as dealers go I’ve had better luck with Red Wing Ford than I have Hastings. Whitey’s in Hastings is another good option. He does a great job, and normally turns things around in a hurry.

Yup. Good guy and I already talked to him. He said it was too big of a job for his one man show.

That’s too bad. Known Bill and his family for years. I think he’s getting to the point where he wants the easy jobs ahead of retirement! Can’t blame him.

Good guy. Been going there since late 90’s
