After researching Youtube and the web on how to fix my Ford Explorer power window, I decided that some of the repair options we're beyond what I wanted to tackle. So, took the advice of many on this forum and went to Michael's Auto in Fruitland. (352-365-2955)

Michael told me that if it needed a switch, the cost would be $70 and if the regulator was the culprit, it would be no more that $170. So, I decided to let him take care of it and very glad I did. I brought the car in and went to the waiting area. Five minutes passed and he asked me to accompany him to my car. He showed me that all he had to do was dislodge the regulator and spray some WD-40 on it. Needless to say, I was very happy but even happier when he told me that there was no charge and asked me to remember his shop the next time I need my vehicle repaired. He did suggest that we try to put our windows down every week or so - that this tends to happen to windows that stay up all of the time.

It really is nice to know that there are mechanics out there that aren't out to get as much out of you as they can. Give him a try next time you need a mechanic.
