South Florida Shop Recommendation
I live near Miami and with my 2000 S500, I am having Airmatic issues (surprise). South Florida is not known for its ethics, and I need a mechanic that is both fair and trustworthy. Any referrals, recommendations or help would be greatly appreciated!
The problem I am having is for a while when I locked the door, I would hear a shhhhhhhhhhhhhhh coming from the passenger front - I think it was coming from the compressor, maybe the release valve. I didn't think much of it, however, recently when the car has been sitting, the passenger front side sinks all the way down and the driver's side just about the same. There is no more shhhhhhhhhhhhhh noise when I lock the door. When I unlock the door with the remote, the compressor fires up and the car rises back up in about 30 seconds.
I replaced the driver's front shock about 6 months ago, but the passenger side is original. I would think if the shock was bad, both sides would not be down, I could be wrong.
I took the car to a shop today and they want $90 to run Star Diagnostics. The problem with this shop, is he is the sole mechanic and works on 1 car a day, so I know he is going to try to earn his day's work, from my car.
