John:

After you are in Mexico for a while one learns not to simply R&R.
They have shops that overhaul just about anything: blenders, washing
machines, carburators, fuel pumps, water pumps and boosters. You can
still buy fuel pump kits for the older cars. Some on this forum may
remember when you could go to a parts store and buy the fuel pump
diaphragms. But it is a country of contrasts. There are diagnostic
specialists with the latest test equipment to read the trouble codes
in most late model cars. Any flat rate mechanic would be shocked at
the way the mechanics work. These fellows cannot afford a lot of
tools so the dealerships have a tool crib. You will see them going to
the wicket with a work order and getting a 9/16 wrench and a vise
grip! They are not super fast but lots of good mechanics. Labor rates
vary from around $25.00 at dealerships to $5.00 in the little
pueblos. Parts that are imported from the USA are about 50% higher.
But there are a lot of parts that are either made in Mexico or come
from Latin America. These are inexpensive and of good quality. Time
for a Cerveza!!
