Antique Car on the Jersey Shore? Take it to Yeager Automotive in Belmar!!!
Merrill Yeager who owns Yeager Automotive and as John P. said is the most honest and capable mechanic and master of restoration expert on the Jersey shore. I have a red 1954 MGTF named "Winston" who I drive up and down Ocean Avenue morning, noon and night. We bought "Winston" in 1971 and we are the second owners. I spent many an enjoyable hour with my dad, a Scottish WWII Royal Naval engineer, fixing and restoring the car. When dad died in 2003 I lost my best friend. Every time I drive in the car I think of him sitting next to me with his Scottish Tam-O-Shanter on enjoying the ocean breeze in our faces.
I found out by word of mouth and from antique car club members such as The Positive Earth Drivers Club that if you have an old car, this is the man to see to keep it running in top shape. You can tell he has a special love for old cars and he keeps the running for us. I am sooooo lucky. He is only a mile from my house. My son Danny owns "Evelyn" a green 1966 MGB and he drives it all the way from Hopewell and Philadelphia to have Merrill fix his car.
Merrill, you are the best! Warm regards, Dr. Jim Brown read more
