Jim Long Import
1741 Howell Rd
Hillsboro, TN 37342
931.596.2217

I had Triple A haul my wife's 850T to Mr. Long's on the recommendation of a friend after the car stopped running suddenly. The gentleman I dealt with (over the phone) was a gentleman named Brian who was incredibly friendly. Here's what I had done:

Parts:
FR7DC Bosch Super Sparkplugs (x5) - $10.70
Fuel Pump Relay - $25.00
Cap/Rotor/Wires - $45.00
Shop Supplies (engine and parts cleaner) - $4.00
Shop Supplies (Throttle body cleaner) - $4.96
Total for Parts: 89.69

Labor:
2.00 hrs @ $64.00/hour - $128.00

Total: 217.68

As I mentioned above, I had the car towed to this location on the recommendation of a friend. I spoke with the gentleman over the phone and he called me when the job was done. When I set out to find the shop I really felt like I had driven out into the middle of nowhere. When I pulled in to the shop location I was greeted by a multiple-acre Volvo junkyard (hence the used parts listed above). The parts and labor listing comes directly from the invoice given to me by the shop. I also asked for an estimate on a valve guide seals/head gasket job and was given an estimate of $750.00 to $800.00.

I strongly recommend anyone in the Middle TN area give Mr. Long a call.

I bought a used engine for my fathers 96 850 and I can say this guy is top notch. Very prompt, good service and a clean engine. Still running strong. Leaks oil via the valve seals but I don't blame him for that, he couldn't have known.
