Don't let this mechanic "put you down" Just because you don't know so much a about cars dosn't entitle him to give you second rate service. If he is in business his first job is to establish a good

First get a shop manual!!! Either Haynes or Bentley or both. If nothing else it will help you figure out what a mechanic is talking about. Second, Where do you live?? Certainly there are some LBC ty
