If you bought a car for a dollar, how long would you expect it to run? If you have a good mechanic, your one dollar ride could last longer than you’d think… One of our Kudzu users actually did buy a truck for a dollar, and thanks to his mechanic, the truck is still going strong!

Review from Kudzu user Bolt:
Bridwell’s Keeps My Dollar Truck Running!
Two years ago, a friend sold me his 1992 Chevy pick-up for a dollar. Needless to say, it needed plenty of work! The motor and transmission were strong so I’ve stuck with “Old Blue”. Jack at Bridwell’s Automotive is the only one I trust to keep her running. He does everything you’d want your mechanic to do. He diagnoses, then advises accordingly, always keeping the cost to benefit ratio in mind. He keeps replaced parts for me to see, and is ALWAYS a hoot to converse with over the phone. I live in West Phoenix, and my girlfriend lives in Scotsdale. She uses the truck to commute back and forth to ASU. I’ve developed an all-important rapport with Jack and feel I can send her and Old Blue to Bridwell’s anytime and be treated fairly!
