I have had a Ranger in the shop waiting on repairs for two weeks now. They haven't looked at it yet. It's not pressing yet but when gun season gets here it will be. Anyone had one in the shop lately and for how long?

Shops tend to busy up closer to season.What kind of repairs?

I know the front hub is broke and a full service is needed. They probably are slammed.

Is it just at a one man and a shop kinda place? Did he tell you itd be a while? Two weeks, undiagnosed and untouched would be unacceptable to me. If someone can't get things diagnosed and repaired in a timely manner they need to not take on the task. I'd make some calls to see what's the deal and maybe have another dealer or shop in mind.

It is what I would call a medium size shop. I called Thursday and they were going to look at it Friday and call me. They never did, I got busy and did not think about it until after they closed. It will be a pain to go get it and go somewhere else.

Hub replacement on those is easier than expected. At this point, you may want to tackle it yourself

Didn't they have a lot of recalls on their products last few years? Shop may still be full from those?

The shop in Loxley runs about a month out. Water pump and a few other minor things.

I can promise you this. If you mention that you are not in a big hurry everything else that comes through their door will move ahead of you.

I took mine in about a month ago and they said it would be 2 weeks before they even looked at it. I was like "OK. No problem." They called back in 4 days and told me it was ready. Go figure. It was a minor repair (cooling fan switch and a AWD switch) not a completed tear down. It's running like a top now so they indeed fixed the problem.

They called today and are ordering parts for the repairs. Hopefully I will get it by next week. Sounds like 3 to 4 weeks is normal.

I took my ranger in for service work and a brake caliper replacement last Wednesday and it was ready Thursday. Walkers of road in Eva. Never had a bad experience with them and they are always pretty quick.

I fix mine myself. I have replaced broken belts, hubs, axel, ball joints, oil tank, control arms and a lot more. It's not as hard as you may think. The tranny belt wasn't even that hard. The wiring harness sucked but I'd just rather learn about while fixing it myself. Knowledge is power and nobody can take that away

I would normally make the repairs but it is not kept where I live, I just do not have the time. Between all the other stuff I have to get done some things have to be hired out.
