Budfreak1 ROCKS!

I just had my svx serviced by the terrific BUDFREAK1!! This guy really knows what he's doing. There was communication throughout the procedure. Jason is truly gifted and totally enjoys working on these cars. Honest, fair, and the work is exceptional. He took, what I thought was a dead car, and brought it into new life. You guys better hook up with this one. Thanks Jason!

Thanks for the kind words Min. I really do enjoy and love working on these cars. They are my passion and I live and breathe SVX. I hope to be seeing Virgil for his next visit very soon.

Wow you seem to have everything setup there...Nice website too Jason.
Is there anything that you don't do?....(not talking 5mt and 6mt), but electrical diagnostics, suspension, brakes, etc.?

Thanks man. Yes, I do all things from brakes to electrical to complete engine and tranny swaps like I'm doing for wannarace928 right now. Basically, If it's on an SVX, I'll fix it.

Classic SVX
My SVX came home!

Budfreak did an excellent job working on my SVX, kept me informed the whole time he was working on it, and tried his hardest spending many long nights working on it, trying to get it running again. No other mechanic would try so hard or care so much about getting this car back on the road. This car did not have many parts on it that did not need replaced. There where so many things bad, it wouldnt have even been a good parts car.
The old engine burnt and leaked oil in almost every spot possible. It would go through a quart or more every day I drove it, half the sensors where shot, needed a t-belt & waterpump and who knows what else. The engine budfreak installed to replace the old one has been rebuilt prior to install with new seals, tb, waterpump and a bunch of other things, and it starts right up and idles near perfect, no leaks of any kind and no holding my foot to the floor to start it! Feels like a new car!!
He also installed a 4.44 transmission w/rear diff which also shifts smoothly through all the gears and also put in a external tranny filter and cooler to help her live a long life. There are countless other things he replaced on this car, including the door locks!
There are only a few small things that need replaced on it now and hopefully in the near future she will be as close to perfect as she can be.
He saved an svx's life!

svx parts central

i needed a alternator and wiring plug fast because my svx is a daily driver and bud-freak/svx parts central got it to me by friday as you may know local parts stores don't carry alot of svx parts they are too busy selling mopeds and chromed bolt on parts so if you need a shifter knob or big exhast tip go to pep-boys if you svx parts try Svx Parts Central
