Looking for a Fiero mechanic

[LenzTech]

Hi all,
I was wondering if there are any recommends for a mechanic in the Ottawa area. I need some rear axil work done.

Hi Len,

We have a really good one a little West in Carleton Place, Ontario.

I use Wes whos been servicing my Fieros (and another friends 3800 Fiero project) at McIntosh Automotive for years.
He's the only mechanic I've found whos mastered the oddities of the Fiero.

Their number is 613-253-8109.  Well worth the extra trip for the quality he brings.

I started to work on my car today. I pulled the drivers side tire first and inspected everything. everything seemed ok. When I pulled the rear passenger tire I found the tire was trashed. It had broken its belts and was severely warped. I will try to attach pics.

Ya, that's really bad.

The 308 has P225/50R15 tires on it. BUMMER - no tires available in Canada. I can have tires ordered from the US @ 479.oo per tire.. I am having P225/60R15s installed on the rear until I can find a good set of 4 @ a good price. The car will sit a bit wonky as the 60s are about one inch taller ~2 inch larger diameter. There seems to be lots of room for them in the wheel well.

You should use 245/50/15 on the back and 215/60R15 on the front.  You will be much happier with the way that feels on the road anyway.  If you needed to you could also use 245/55R15 but that's slightly taller than stock Fiero.

Cheers,

Aaron
