In need of a GOOD repair shop in Fairbanks AK.

[ThomG]

The continueing saga of our Alaska trip. After leaving Denali,I noticed a strange sound when applying the brakes. At Fairbanks I noticed gear lube around the rim on the outside dual. The rear axel was apart to be inspected and new seals,lube, and brakes installed before we left on this trip. That was about 13000 miles ago. I'm concerned about what is wrong, but at this time more concerned as to whom to go to for good honest help to get back on the road before we get snowed in!!!! Can any recommend a good independent shop in Fairbanks?

I do not live in AK but have you checked out the travel companion for someone who lives in Fairbanks AK? You might get a faster response from someone that is listed in the travel companion.

Okay, phone calls made 7 to 8 am led me to Young Gear a shop that specializes in tranmissions,transfer cases, axles etc. I had a brake caliper lock up bad enough to wear the rotor paper thin. their repair quote to replace rotors,calipers,seal etc. didn't seem unreasonable and they are working the truck in today, they hope to be done this evening. Overall, I feel like all will work out well.
