Thread: 3.9L V8 on heat - is this normal?

And it goes without saying that you'll recommend them to others.


Recommend that they don't go there that is.

Cripes, what a carry on!

The first rule of not accepting any responsibility is to go on the attack, it seems.

I'm a bit surprised at that reaction you got from them, I know where your talking about and I was thinking about getting them to do my clutch and timing belt but I'll just take the car off the road for as long as it takes now and do it myself

anyway good to hear its not overheating

Duncan,

You have a pretty standard setup there, and the shop that shall not be named does see a lot of them. If you need the car for work and dont have time / tools to do it yourself, I would still take it in. They've done it a hundred times before, and chances are they'll do it right.
But if my experience is anything to go by, if things don't go smoothly, they're all care, no responsibility!

Yeah... well, I've had a nightmarish experience with them... TWICE!!! ... But that's only two examples. There are others here who have had no problems with them and highly recommend them.

I don't want to raise any false alarms (hence no public shaming)... but, if anyone has a non-standard setup I'd strongly encourage them not to take it there... PM me for details if you want to know.

Oh, and I can only tell you where not to go tho... I wouldn't have a clue where else to take it, but I'll certainly be looking for a new one... ... prefer the devil I don't know!!!

Dare I ask any suggestions?
