Had the stealership do a 37 point inspection before my warranty expired and come to find out that oil is seeping into spark plugs. Also my belts are worn. They also did transmission service and now the car is not shifting right. Anyway, just looking for someone that does honest and good work. I refuse to take my car back to those crooks.....Flint grey 2005 ....51000 miles

They don't like new jacks too much around here j/k I don't think there are too many people in our area on this forum. Where in Westchester are you? I am in White Plains.

Nice kompressede ....what work has Bruce done to your car. Just curious since you have the same year as me. Also, how many miles do you have?
