power brake booster rebuilding service? - 05/21/14 02:53 PM
Can anyone recommend a good brake booster rebuilder besides Dewey? I was on the phone with him yesterday and he really turned me off with the attitude I got from him. I am not looking to have the booster replated as I recently had that done with a bunch of other parts. I just need to get the booster operational again. The booster is a Midland-Ross power drum booster for a 69 GTX.
Thanks,
Brian

Always use Booster Dewey, never had a problem mechanically or attitude wise.

Try Wayne ( Brown ) over at

Power Brake x-Change in Pittsburgh, PA They do fine work and turnaround is fast. Just make sure and tell them to rebuild your unit and not grab one from stock.

So I understand, the Oregon guy gave an attitude and offended a North Jersey guy
That may be a first
Jokes aside, I've had great luck with Booster Dewey . . .and you get a pack of peanut M&M's !

Personally, with all the choices out there, why would someone give attitude to a paying, potential customer? My opinion, its not good business practice. Again, maybe he was having a bad day or something but that is not my problem. It just rubbed me the wrong way, thats all. I'm over it and my money will be spent with someone else.

Chris,
Yes. It was fine and then one time when I stepped on the brake, the thing started hissing worse than a snake and the engine started running really rough. Typical rough engine due to a vacuum leak. Its out and on its way to another rebuilder.
