Profile: I started McWhorter’s Antique Iron Repair in 2005. I’ve shown antique engines since 1998 and always had problems with the magneto. I came up with the idea of mobile magneto repair in late 2007 and started in 2008. I attend about 15 shows annually. In 2010 I repaired 196 magnetos at show sites and brought 56 back to the shop for more intense repair.  

The idea behind the mobile service is that I can save the customer shipping plus build trust by meeting them. I repair their magneto while they enjoy the show. My trailer is 8 feet wide and 16 feet long. I am self-sufficient; I have a bed, fridge, microwave, heat and air conditioning in the trailer. Once I arrive on show site I stay until the show is over. It’s been working great!
