Police Chief Martin Coad told the Beardstown City Council at their meeting Tuesday, March 19th, there is a bad engine regarding a bad motor in the 2014 Dodge Charger squad car.
Chief Coad received estimated replacement/repair cost from Jennings here in Beardstown and Chrysler dealership in Jacksonville. Jenning’s estimate was just over $10,000 and the Chrysler’s estimate was just over $12,000. The difference in price has to do with the Chrysler dealership replacing more parts.
