Hello all,
I have a Ford Ranger which I bought from Mc Earney motor last April, The Maintenance period has expired. Is there any service bay in San Fernando that is reputable so I could take my ranger to get serviced?

Thanks!!

Good stuff dude. Masterserv is a bit better than LDG in price & service.

Other places where you can treat your truck to the good life:

Accessories:
- 4x4Trinidad - 6724691, info@4x4trinidad.com
Their showroom is in Enterprise. Coming from chaguanas, head down into Montrose, when you reach KFC & Gas station, swing LEFT. Drive until you reach Railway Extension (about 1 1/2 miles in) then turn right, into Railway Ext. Take the 2nd Left and their showroom/office is 2 buildings on the left (right next to Sure Save Grocery. Ask anyone there where to find the grocery).
Best thing is to call them, talk to "Sandy" and then visit their showroom. It's actually cheaper to buy an undressed van and then dress it up by them.

Eg: Ford Ranger 2010, basic, 4x4Manual XLT = $189K
+ Hurricane Package (chrome sidebars without step) + chrome rollbar + hurricane stickers = $15,000
Total = $204,000

DIY version:
Ford Ranger Basic 4x4 XLT undressed = $189K
+ chrome sidebars WITH steps ($2800-$3000) + Rollbar ($3000) + Nudgebar ($2800-$3000) = up to $9000 max (these are average prices that I got quoted from them - 4x4trinidad will have the exact price for you)

TOTAL = $198,000 - and you get the nudgebar too.


NOTE: Don't rely on PM's and emails to communicate with them. Call them, liase with Sandy, visit the showroom. It's worth it bro.

Also try:
- Ironman 4x4. They're located next to Tucker Engineering in La Romain. Dealers in ARB products and Ironman Suspension lift kits.
290-1140, james at 708-7567
- LV Marketing - 745 4447, 684 7170
http://www.trinicarsforsale.com/lvmarketing/
- M Rampersad 653 5174. They have decent prices for rollbars & carryboy accessories.


Amsoil Products:
Tony @ 633-6110. Check him for bulk buying of Amsoil Oil & additived. McEarney Motors uses Amsoil in their service dept anyway, but it's cheaper to buy the oil and bring it yourself to places like Masterserv when you change it.

Also try: Pro Lube Ltd, 633-6110 for amsoil. I gonna check them myself, switching from Shell Rimula X this weekend to Amsoil, I need the extended mileage between oil-changes now.

DON'T FORGET>>>>>

Make sure to CALL the folks at 4x4Trinidad. DO NOT RELY ON EMAILS/PM'S alone. It's much faster &more efficient to simply call. Some users on this forum complained of not getting through with emails/pm's so it's best to CALL.

4x4Trinidad - 6724691 (ask for SANDY), or 4738631, info@4x4trinidad.com

There are lots of after market replacements. Take out the old one and carry it with you. Ford original is blue and stamped ford, you can get it from mcearney parts dept to buy
