I remember taking my truck to one of those franchises to see about a brake job. They took one look at the truck, and said that they could not get the parts. I wound up going to a near by independent garage, and they did the job while I waited. They were able to get the parts in about 45 minutes, and had the job done in about 2 hours.
It seems that these franchises and places like Wal Mart, will not touch anything before 1970 or so. Maybe they are too COMPLICATED for those people!
