This guy needs to take the car to HIMSELF instead of taking it to a shop... if you take it to the same place they will keep dicking you around knowing you will come back to spend more money.

At LEAST try somewhere else first, thats what I tell to all my girl-friends who have a "family mechanic" and their car "always breaks down". Seems to fix the problem rapidly.... "Family mechanics" are not looking out for your best interest in the pocketbook.
