RE: IML: Dealer won't work on a '90s Imperial

[Ken Lang <imperialken@xxxxxxxxx>]

I've already jumped in on this topic earlier.  But just to add, that I am
fortunate enough to have found a local guy who has been in the car repair
business for decades.  He's a little slow but very thorough in his work.  He
stands behind what he does.  Plus he takes the time to discuss what you WANT
done so when you leave you know what WILL be done.

The only thing I don't have him do is alignments.  For that I take both my
Imperials to the local (reputable) racing shop.  A good race shop that
sponsors local racers will always have state of the art alignment equipment
that is calibrated. (key word - calibrated)  My local race shop calibrates
the entire alignment rack every month.

You guys are lucky in the sense that they did not lay
their grimy paws on your car. The Chrysler dealer in
Florida where the previous owner had all the work done
on my car screwed up far more than I am sure they ever
fixed. I spent the first 2 months after I got the car
straighting out their mistakes. You are much better
off at an independent garage or doing the work if you
can yourself.

Just my .001 cents worth.
