Hello all, I was wondering if there are any shops or retail stores in the Central California, Fresno/Clovis area for Lightnings. I have been toying with the idea of having my own shop for some time now, and I love working on these trucks! The shop would hopefully include a dyno and some custom tuning, and maybe even a retail parts store. Is anyone already doing this?? Not trying to compete with anyone or make a ton of money, I just want to have some fun and maybe make a living at it. BK, Ford Motor Company and ASE certified Technician.

post on SOCALLOC or NLOC, my buddy from San Luis Obispo is moving up to Fresno, and he is on those two forums, he might know about this stuff. His screenname on the forums is BLKDVL, hopefully he can help u out.

 

I agree that it would be great to have something here in the Central Valley. There's a lot of Import shops but nothing that I've seen for Lightnings. I know a few great shops in Fresno, but none of them specialize on Lightnings, or even Fords. I've got my eye on a few Dynos here in town that may be up for sale, and I'm thinking seriously about brushing up my tuning skills and taking a course on fuel mapping. I absolutely love tuning on Fuel Injected and Forced-Induction setups, it's all such a wonder to me, and the possibilities are endless. We will see what happens. BK
