SteezySkreez Posted March 15, 2014 Report Share Posted March 15, 2014 All I can say is my motor was running fine until I took it there to get the carbs tuned because I'm new to Datsun. A week later had to pull the whole Damn thing and put a new one in. That is my motor not just the carbs Quote Link to comment
danfiveten Posted March 15, 2014 Report Share Posted March 15, 2014 I have taken almost every vehicle to Bill's Datsun Shoppe, for one reason or another. Sensor behind my dash and a fuel sensor that was stumping me, (on a 99' V-10 dodge ram) and several nissan/Datsun rigs. He charges a fair price for above average work. My opinion- Might not be a good idea to except a lifetime warranty, gotten up there. But truly like one of his criticizer's said he has been in business for a long time. 37 years I think. And as far as changing the name goes, I would keep the old name too. Just get otu of here, and stop promoting trash. 1 Quote Link to comment
Boxcar Posted March 17, 2014 Report Share Posted March 17, 2014 I'm pretty sure Bill would be a bit upset to see what has happened to his reputation.... 1 Quote Link to comment
Grumpy_one Posted September 30, 2014 Report Share Posted September 30, 2014 Found this: http://www.bbb.org/oregon/business-reviews/auto-repair-mobile/bills-datsun-shoppe-etc-in-clackamas-or-50003538/complaints#breakdown Pretty much what happened to my daughters boyfriend who just bought a '76 280Z. Took it in because it was running rough. 600.00 later and repairs like changing the ignition switch and oil change "because it was contaminated" to get it to pass DEQ. Now the battery isn't getting charged after it's started. It managed to recharge itself after a couple of days of non use (as good battery’s tend to do) so that tells me it's not a drain when switched off. I'm guessing alternator/regulator. It shows 12v at the battery after a jump start. Tells me there's nothing from the alternator. Haven't checked the regulator. I plan to get this kid a FSM and some tools or he's going to be forever dishing out coin to the dislikes to people like Bills Datsun. Can someone tell me where to get a FSM besides from Jock ass? And any info on a reputable repair shop for old Datsuns? I plan to help this kid out as long as he's my daughter’s boyfriend. He lives with his mom and she seems to be more car savvy than him, divorced, doesn’t seem the father is too car savvy either. I'm an aircraft tech (over 30 years) and know my way around a tool or three. Any help would be appreciated. And HELLO! Thanks, Dave Quote Link to comment
503datsun.dude Posted October 4, 2014 Report Share Posted October 4, 2014 Anyone know where I can get a bushing kit for my 75 datsun!? I was about to go ask bill lol but not now. Quote Link to comment
Laecaon Posted October 4, 2014 Report Share Posted October 4, 2014 No "kit". Source it all separately, online, parts store. Rock auto is a good source, but then I often copy the part numbers to amazon as it can be cheaper after shipping. Quote Link to comment
