Auto repair service near Melvin, IL

We are thrilled with Paternoster Ford in Fairbury, IL. We've been there two times in the past; both times we bought a vehicle. He had exactly what we were looking for. Extremely easy to deal with. None of the "let me check with my manager" or "how much can you afford?" After the test drive, we bought both vehicles in less than 10 minutes. I'll definitely go back for my next Ford.

My old S-10 did have 376,00 highway miles on it, so I knew that some day it would expire. But I was proactive because it is a stick shift 2001 extended cab with a four banger that runs like the day it was new. Still does but only in first gear. I always used synthetic oil and anything it needed for optomum performance and longevity. After much thought, I put new tires on it last December. They did add-on stems that look like curb feelers to up the ani. Then in April the truck started making a grinding noise. I brought it in on the 25th of May and told the girl at the counter that I had a noise and waving my hand beside me added "about here where the carrier bearings are". A young mechanic took it out for a drive and exclaimed that he knew just what it was. So I walked the store for couple of hours and retrieved the truck so I could get back top work. They said it was the wheel bearings. Busy, but with the noise still present, the carrier bearing went out four days later in Pekin as I upshifted from 2nd to 3rd. I had it brought back and a private mechanic installed a new one, but the trans mission has also failed by the violence of the failure. Mack's will get it when I have time to deal with it. Gee thanks.
