    Good Day All

    Can anyone make a recommendation for a good Caterpillar mechanic in or near Jupiter Florida?

    I have twin C12s with very low hours and new (6 months old) ZF Mathers Microcommander controls. I have an issue related to secondary throttle sensor calibration and low fuel pressure in one engine.

    Thanks for your help.

    I have done one follow up maintenance call after SmithWick and found nothing wrong with their work. The customer was happy with them also.
    We use a fantastic kid up here in Jax. If you can not find any to your liking down there let us know.

    Thanks to everyone for the recommendation of Smith and Wick.

    Charlie was prompt and quickly diagnosed and repaired the problem.

    I would highly recommend him for future work.
