ray catena
Does anyone know if Ray Catena, in Union, NJ, is a reputable dealer to have car serviced? Harmonic balancer issue , needs to be replaced under recall. is it a easy thing, can they be trusted with it,

I had a slight experience with one of their dealers there,but never had to use their service personnel.When I bought the car,he was trying to tell me that I could not get the xenon headlights with the S.E. package,and that whoever said that I could was taking me for a ride.Well,I did get what I wanted from another(Soveriegn) dealer in Bklyn,for a better price.Kind of strange that one MB dealer would try to badmouth another for a sale.
I have heard many good things about Catena though,and I would expect them to do a competent job.

I would wait until the official written letter comes to you,,or contact the dealer that you intend to use.Then,make a choice as to who works on it.I believe you can trust the dealer for the job,which ever dealer you choose,but I have had my car scratched,wheels marred,interior dirtyed up by the dealer for simple services.So with a bigger job,all you can do is ask they take care of the car and return it no worse.
