I have been watching this site now for a couple of years and tried to get a feel for who is good.... or not good to deal with. Being located in Australia makes this especially important because its not a simple job to return anything that is not right.
For years I have heard John Cope this and John Cope that whenever it comes to transmissions, like he a good guy. I have now dealt with him on a personal level and I can say that he is not a good guy. He is a great guy! We rolled into his workshop to pick up a couple of transmissions on our way to Drag Week last month with a failing transmission in my (Chev)pickup truck. The transmission had just been re-built but had one of those wierdo problems that only show up when it is really hot and under load. John went out of his way to help us, to the extent of checking the modulator, governor and kick down switch, then pulling the trans out giving it the 'once over' and seeing that is was not an obvious problem, organising a replacment after confering with the original builder.(and telling him off for charging me so much!)And all this for a Chev!
It was great to meet John at last. I have dealt with him a few times in the past couple of years but its always by E mail or a middle of the night(for me) phone call.
Great guy. Great service. Cheers Mate!
