Default Vintage Jeep Repair

I'm looking for a garage/mechanic that may be able to help with repair on 1996 Jeep Cherokee. Anyone know of a garage experienced with older Jeeps?

There’s an older fella that does garage work at his home garage. Pretty knowledgeable guy and he’s in Laconia. He worked on a few issues with my wife’s 55 Ford Fairlane. I’ll get his name when my wife gets home…stay tuned! (Pun intended)😊

Any vehicle 20+ years old can get antique plates. I had a 2001 Jeep Cherokee Limited, that I absolutely love! Last year of the CJ line. The AMC era in-line six was bullet proof! Finally got rid of it because of rust.

Neil Trinidad of Laconia Garage on 106 is my go-to for domestic autos.

Yeah - I have some old iron.. a 48 CJ2A, 56 chevy pickup, 75 Camaro, and 86 560SL... my concept of vintage hasn't advanced to the 90s yet.

I drive a 1992 Lexus SC 400 that I bought new....The word vintage gave me a strange perspective of time gone by. Thirty two years ago this month.

I just had it clay-bar detailed and it looks more like new than I do...
