Default Shop in Schenectady / Albany or can I borrow a jack and stands?

I'm up in Albany for the next 5-6 months for work and I am living at a hotel. I'm working in Schenectady.

I need a shop because my transmission mount is loose and I don't have jack / stands to fix it with.

Its really annoying not being able to do anything about it and I was wondering if anyone had any shop recommendations.

I've dealt with this place before. Looks like about a 1/2 hour away from you.

Small shop, nice guy, deals with mostly F-body stuff for years. His name is Kevin, most likely you'll have to leave a message.

The transmission mount? All you need is a jack and jackstands to change it. Did you mean to say you don't have a jack and stands?

doh, yeah.

I am in a hotel and I don't have any of my tools or jacks or stands (they are at home ~9hrs away).

A nice guy at a goodyear service places was able to get me in and did it for free so I'm happy. Just as I suspected the nut wasn't even finger tight - about a minute to fix after it was up.

I'll keep that info in mind if I need anything else.

Yeah but would Redline even talk to him with a small fix like that?
