"I drove my 1972 Cadillac Eldorado resto-mod from Los Angeles to Chicago for a Cadillac convention. After 2 weeks of delicious deep dish pizza, museums, and tours, I was ready to return. I went to start my car and discovered the battery was dead. AAA replaced the battery, and discovered the engine would crank but would not turn over. I needed to find a repair shop or make arrangements to ship it home.
I began a Google search and quickly began calling “classic auto repair shops”, asking for help. The replies ranged from “We can’t take you for 2 weeks” to “We don’t work on cars that old”. I finally dialed Old School Classics in Monee IL. Bruce listened patiently to my predicament and said he would help. I had the car towed from downtown Chicago to his shop in Monee. Bruce greeted me and began working on it right away, with help from Mike and Ray. By the end of the day Bruce had isolated the problem to the EFI control module, one of the many modifications I had made to improve performance.
Bruce continued working on my car first thing next morning. He reached technical support at Holley, who helped him verify that that the ECM module was fine. They directed Bruce to a hidden relay that tested bad. After replacing the relay, the engine fired up perfectly. I was very grateful to pay this bill, be on my way and avoid a $4,000 charge to ship the car back home. My car ran perfectly for the 2,000 mi trip back to Los Angeles.
Bruce, Mike, and Ray are honest “Old School” people. You can trust their expertise. They deliver excellent service quickly and efficiently."
