Vegas independent suggestion

Anyone use someone independent in Vegas? I have a Powerchip and pulley so I'm not sure I should take it to the dealership just yet. Need to feel out the dealer first.

Thanks in advance,
Chuck

E55. The tranny is "skipping" in second, the passenger window is squeaking, oil change, etc. Nothing major, but I don't know how dealerships react to the aftermarket part(s)...

Thanks for the reply.

None of those things would be adversly effected(sp) by your stated aftermarket parts. No dealer can refuse/void your warrentied parts if you have aftermarked parts on the car.............unless they can directly show that those parts caused the failure of what you want fixed. Hopefully I worded that in a understandable way(sometimes I don't type things the way I'm thinking).

Do you ever go to the drag strip?

No drag strip. Just bought it actually from a young couple in SoCal. He kept the car immaculate.

To add to your statement about the aftermarket parts affecting the issue, I am concerned the Powerchip may be off a bit causing the shifting issues. Is this not the case?

I tried the "cheat code" reset found here on the forums for the shifting, but it didn't change the issue. My Service C is due in 450 miles so I need to make the appointment in the next 1-2 weeks. "Mr. J", who is your contact at Fletcher? I am the local Guinness, Red Stripe, Smithwicks, Harp, and Smirnoff Ice representative. I'm sure we could arrange something...

PS I just noticed that you have a C63 now!!! When it gets cooler I'm gonna have to get you to bring it out to the drag strip. I want to see what one will do against my lowly Crossfire.
