Calstar (Glendale, CA) Service Dep. Info

If you ever need to go to Calstar to get your car serviced for whatever reason and you'd like to be taken care of, make sure and see Carl Boyd. He's a very nice guy, very helpful, he also used to be the manager of Downtown LA MB. If you want to be treated horribly, make sure and see Rene House, and btw, if you didn't get your car there, don't expect a free rental from Rene. Just wanted to put this out there so no one has any issues over there.

Thanks for the info I'll be taking my car in soon as it's been acting funky these last couple of days. I'll make sure to ask for Carl Boyd.

Thanks again

I used to go to him before the mods, I had the resonator delete, phenolic spacers and the upgraded HE and he didn't say anything. He was always facinated with my car. Always askin me what else I had done to the car.

EVERYONE at the dealership knew me cause I was the asian kid with the LOUD E55... They would always wave high when I pulled in and smile.

I haven't gone to him lately as I have my "other" tech who takes care of everything now. He's definitely mod friendly. But I still stop by once in a while and say hello.

Ohh.. Well.. I don't know what to say except that I hope he's treating you right.

I didn't actually get to see it. I was too... angry I guess, and besides, the gates were closed. I did remember your car was there after I left though.

I'll try and see it tomorrow, I'm going back to pick up my car, I'm not sure what time yet though.
