Looking for local Kalamazoo, Michigan Cobalt Buddy

After moving up from texas I lost my buddy who helped me with just about everything with my car, and I was looking for any local Kalamazoo cobalt gearheads who could help me out the next couple of months with teaching me more knowledge and help mod my car. I'm certainly not where I'd like to be at when it comes to cars and it's become a pretty strong hobby lately for me. So lemme know if there are any locals!

It doesn't need to be today, I haven't even ordered the stuff yet, it'll be within the next couple weeks

I'm afraid I don't have the screw punch

I'm living in South Haven area right now, rather familiar with these cars, have built many others, still do while mine is just a DD, I also manage a bodyshop @ a local Chevrolet dealer.

If you need something and I'm around I'll be glad to help on the side, just take care of me for my time which wouldn't be much I'd ask. Just fair. I've done enough free work in my day that has gone unappreciated, so please don't take offense.

Screw punch? No such on our rotors, assuming you're referencing the philips head on Honda being you referenced an Accord. Removing the calipers/caliper bracket will be all you need to do to remove rotors. Depending on your trim level there are great sources for cheap rotors, and mine have lasted quite some time and have impressed me.

Fair enough! I see no problem in that. Thanks for the heads up!

I do have mobile tools in which I could come to you, but if you came out here it'd work best. If I'm available this weekend I'd gladly help, if not we'll set something up soon enough and get it knocked out. A hectic couple weeks headed my way just to warn.

SC BlK SS, same applies if you need something bud.

I'm also glad to lend opinions, and advice. I moved back home from Virginia where we had quite the group of SS owners and I've been around a lot of different setups.
