Brad & Jacolyn Posted October 4, 2015 Report Share Posted October 4, 2015 Hi again, If you read my previous post you know I had an interesting last week. The Volvo dealer also told me that my back brakes were getting bad and needed attention but I try to use independents when I can instead of the dealers. We will be sitting in Hutch for a while so I will get them checked there. Does anyone have a recommendation in Hutch? Thanks.

Piedmontexpress Posted October 4, 2015 Report Share Posted October 4, 2015 The resource guide may help you. I can't view it very well on my phone. I'm at work.

Jack Mayer Posted October 4, 2015 Report Share Posted October 4, 2015 Brad, the very best place you can go is where Trey mentioned in CO Springs....One Stop Truck Shop. They are my primary mechanic.

phoenix2013 Posted October 4, 2015 Report Share Posted October 4, 2015 We had quite a bit done "sitting" at Hutch (including a bad injector). Memory escapes me but it might have been Runyan. They are independent and were reasonable in price and service (un-dealer like). They had a ton of work when we were there and most of the "working trucks" they were servicing looked like they haven't been to a dealer for a long, long time.

Brad & Jacolyn Posted October 6, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 6, 2015 Thanks guys. I had such a stressful week that I never even thought about the resource guide (Sorry Mark). I have tried to call Runyan 4 times and they do not answer. Same phone number showed up in a couple of places so I assume that it is correct. I called Anderson and they said bring it over on Monday morning. So I will. See Y'all Friday.

PSD_Tweaker Posted October 8, 2015 Report Share Posted October 8, 2015 Brad, looks like you got some decent mileage out of those brakes, they were at 40% when you picked up that truck here a looong time ago.

MrSeas Posted October 20, 2015 Report Share Posted October 20, 2015 Brad, What did you end up doing about your rear brakes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HERO Maker Posted October 20, 2015 Report Share Posted October 20, 2015 Brad had it taken care of over at Anderson's while he was at the Rally in Hutch. I'm sure he'll let us know how well of a job they did. They have a pretty good reputation. I took mine to them last year, with what I thought was a problem, and they said it was NOT. I like honest places! Rocky & Sheri Rhoades '01 Volvo 770 2016 DRV Mobile Suites, HoustonHERO Makers Ministry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
