Another great electrical job by Yankee Auto Electr

I had my starter out because of some other repairs and decided at the last minute to have it rebuilt. I called my friends over at Yankee Auto Electric in Pawtucket, RI (401-723-7898) and told them what I wanted to do. Last fall I had my alternator die at 1:00PM Friday on the day before the Lobster Run in Maine. I dropped the car off and they completely rebuilt it as well as doing the R&R and had me going in less than four hours, so that experience was a great one. Same scenario yesterday.
I dropped off the starter (which was off of the car) at 3PM yesterday, they disassembled, grit blasted, installed new bushings and new brushes, ground armature, rebuilt solenoid internally and installed new drive for $95.00. Starter looks brand new and I know it's done correctly by experts.
These guys are great. While I was there today picking it up, two other customers brought restoration alternators in for overhaul. When they saw my starter they were happy that they came in.
There are enough bad guys out there, these guys are right on the shortlist of those that are VERY GOOD!

Paul, it's always good to hear about places like this. A little far for me to go, but we have a shop in my area that does the same kind of work. A friend took his Bugeye generator in for a rebuild, and they even polished the tach drive that he forgot to remove!

Jeff, it's nice to know that there are still old fashioned customer driven businesses around. Glad to hear that you have one in your area too!
