Looking for WSB in Upstate NY

twastheglow · 11-13-2017, 10:08 AM

As the title states, I'm looking for a someone or somewhere (individual or a garage) that can do walnut shell blasting for a reasonable price in the Binghamton/Syracuse area (preferably but willing to travel a bit if it makes sense). I've gotten a quote of $900-$1,100 locally and $800-$900 from a reputable Syracuse shop...but after hearing about what some people are paying, I'm not willing to pay that kind of money. I DID find a guy about 3 hours from me that's experienced in doing the cleaning and only charges $250, but if I can find something comparable that doesn't include over 6 hours driving time, that would be excellent.

Check out MC Autotech in Binghamton. Mike is a very good tech and passionate about these cars.

Awesome, thanks man. I'll call them now. I was losing hope that there was anyone local. Let's just hope their pricing isn't through the roof.

Apparently MC AutoTech doesn’t utilize WSB, they use a combination of chemicals and tool usage to eliminate carbon build up. Not sure how that method stacks up against the typical WSB.
