And once again workshop

Published: 20.01.2025

Drive
Oldtimer-Werkstatt → Werkstatt

Just that same afternoon, Sebb took a detour on his way home to the classic car workshop around the corner. He suspected that the entrance would again be too low and the lifts too small, but maybe the restorers knew each other and the mechanics there knew someone who knew someone who could get classic campers back in shape.

Just as he had suspected, he received another rejection, but also a tip about a reliable workshop that should have an appropriate lift and be able to dry out Gary again. A few minutes later, Sebb called them. The workshop manager was confident that his workshop would be able to repair the oily engine, but they were fully booked until mid-January. They could call back in early January to see when an appointment could be arranged. Mid-January, that was in 8 weeks, 2 months, ...a long time away, but finally a prospect.

Sebb had a sudden inspiration shortly after the phone call: Wasn't there a well-known classic car workshop? Yes! He remembered. A quick search. Call.

Again, he had a workshop manager on the phone. The workshop manager explained to Sebb that Fiat was not exactly the brand they had dealt with often. Mercedes or BMW, those were common, even brands from the former GDR. For Fiat, he could only take a look at what replacement parts were available and through which channels. Sebb should please send the vehicle registration by e-mail, so he would have the exact type number and engine designation to research the situation. Sebb thanked him and sent the email a few minutes later.
