[Shotimes] Weiner Auto Mechanics

[matt S]

I asked two Ford dealers in the area for a 60k.. nobody could figure it 
out.. Thinking though, I wonder if the 60k/100k maintenance stuff is lingo 
that they dont know.. Maybe next time ask for a replacement of a water pump, 
timing belt, cps, etc... Though you go that route you end up paying 
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$.. 
since its all separate :)
