I know I haven't, unless there's a critical issue I always take it to Greely's Garage back home when it needs to go in for something. Just don't know any shops around here real well and my family has been using them pretty much forever so I trust their work. I was borrowing one of my parents truck's last year and had 3-4 go in the transmission so I had to get it rebuilt by Capital District Transmission. They did a good job on it but I was still nervous while they had it considering it can be hard to find a place that really takes pride in their work. Just curious what shop do you work at in case I do need to get work done while I'm out here?

I'm at Monro Muffler on Rte 9 North in Clifton Park, if you need a really honest mechanic for major work go see Mike at All Tech Auto on Rte 50 in Ballston Spa.

Interesting, I had some bodywork done on my Integra by a guy in Ballston Spa when I was involved in a fender bender. Hard Knox Collision, great guy he did good work. I also had that car at the Monro muffler on Rt. 5 in Albany one time for an inspection, they stole my Gorilla splined lug nuts That's the thing that always worries me with chains, I've found one location can do excellent work but you can't judge all the other locations by that, some can be terrible.

I didn't have very good luck with that car around here overall. Found one shop that did a good job on it and they went out of business by the next time I needed work done, Albany Performance Group was what they used to be called. Also had the Acura dealer in Latham try to rip me off for $4000 to replace all the non-OEM parts with Acura parts when I took it to them to diagnose a misfire issue, they blamed it on the MSD system. After I took the car back and told them they were insane APG found the computer was fried.

Back on topic does anybody know if Chrysler will be showing the 200C and the Dodge ENVI vehicle at this show?

Hey Rare, do you handle the exhaust work or does someone else do that? Thinking of cutting off my exhaust tip again and getting it powdercoated but unless I can find someone I know to put it back on I'll be waiting till I'm home sometime.

I torch exhaust off, never to save any part of it, but we have a couple of techs who are a lot more skilled at cutting pipe to save it. Stop by I off Tues and Sundays (closed).

Oh I can take it off quite effectively with a sawzall, I'm just worried about getting it back on

Getting it back on shouldn't be problem if either the muffler or the pipe need to be bigger in diameter we have a machine to take of that, not mention a welder.
