Any Spree Repair Shops in Michigan?

Post by Animal Chin »

Hello,

Does anyone know of any good repair shops in Michigan. I live in Troy and need to take my spree to a professional to be fixed. I have spent way too much time and money on this piece of S@#$. The Honda dealer down the street said that it is too old for them to work on (1985 Honda Spree). Please let me know if anyone knows of a shop that will work on this. Thanks.

The newest problem with it is that it keeps chewing up belts. It goes 20 mph if I'm lucky and sounds like its in neutral. Yesterday I drove 60 miles to buy a brand new belt and it snapped after 1 mile. The inside drive pulley is kinda worn (not sure if this is what is causing it). I recently put on clutch shoes, so I don't think it is the clutch. When I was a kid I remember that at a idle the tire would slowly move. Now I have to give it quite a bit of gas to get the back tire to turn. Another strange thing is that it has been idling very low when I put on a new belt. As soon as it breaks, the idle goes back up. Thanks.
