"I brought a noisy pool pump here for repair after a suggestion from someone at Majestic. They replaced the bearing and seal for under $150, including labor. However, when I hooked it up at home, there was still a loud, low-frequency humming. I brought the pump back to S-S and they replaced the bearing housing at no charge! These folks are top notch. The pump, which is probably more than 20 years old now runs like a whisper. I would highly, highly recommend."

"My wife and I used these guys for years. For several years we considered them fair. However, one day my car had a water pump go bad. I had it towed to Tune-ups Plus so they could fix it. They ended up charging me like $550 (this was around 10 or so years ago). I thought that was very high so I called 3 other places, including the dealer, and everyone gave a cheaper estimate ($250-$350 range). We were loyal customers and when we needed them most they took advantage of us and raked us over the coals. We never went back after that."
Guys, I have a '37 Zephyr with a Trico vacuum wiper motor that I want to rebuild properly. I've taken it apart and cleaned everything and can see no reason why the arm coming out of the motor barley move when I'm pulling over 20 in of vacuum. My issue might be in the control valves, but I can't s...
I have read a lot of older questions on the Trico vacuum motors and the Fricken wipers service is not good and that another guy called Clean_sweep in California might be helpful. Can anyone confirm that either are available or where I can but parts or how to do minor repairs. This is for my 1942 ...
Can anyone recommend a supplier for Trico vacuum wiper motor parts? Not just the rebuild gasket kit. I actually need a hard part. I have a broken yoke on one of my motors. It is made of some type of phenolic or Bakelite material. If anyone has a good used one that would certainly be fine as well....
Since I have the heater box torn out of my Mercury temporarily, I thought it might be a good time to look over my vacuum wiper mechanism. Lots of access in there right now with the heater gone. My wipers work, but I've always felt they function a little on the slow side. Is there any recommended ...
Does anyone know where I can get a windshield wiper vacuum motor rebuilt? I have been told that Ficken Wiper Service, also known as The Wiper Man is a good place. I logged onto their web site and gathered information. They say to send the wiper motor along with a prepaid amount for the repair and...
I am attempting to rebuild a few KSB Trico motors. Has anyone successfully rebuilt a Trico wiper motor using a kit that the antique Ford parts guys sell? I am particularay interested in forming the paddel seal. Being sure the leather folds into it's self. There seems to be a problem where the pad...
This interesting video shows the first step in getting your wiper motor to work before a rebuild or replacement. I recall but had forgotten that an old mechanic at a garage I at in high school did this quick fix before more drastic measures. (Trico) Vacuum Windshield Wiper Motor - Easy Fix - 1948...
:confused:I just bought wiper motor rebuild kits from Pro Antique auto parts for my 1937 plymouth. I took photos of every phase of disassembley.I followed the instructions and was careful to make sure the new paddles soft parts are folded inward and greased the inside of the motor body.When I hoo...
I'm looking to rebuild my Trico vacuum wiper motor on my Dictator. Any recommendations on who or where to buy a rebuild kit would be appreciated. Thanks.
I recommend having Ficken Wiper service rebuild your motor. They did my 56 motor. Had it back within a week. And I cannot stop the wiper arms when it is turned on, even on dry glass.
