re: Need a mechanic recommendation for a 2008 Challenger SRT8 hemi that’s been sitting

Just save time and money, put it on the street and wait on your insurance check for when it's inevitably stolen.

Man, check all fluids. Pump the tires and drive that shite to a garage. It will need all off the fluids changed and new tires…but not much else.

As other posters said, replace everything that is prone to age out. That means rubber components, I.e., belts, hoses, and tires. I’m not sure if the 6.1 has a timing chain or a belt, but if it’s the latter, you might want to get that shite done before she actually starts putting mileage on it.
