I NEED MORE UPDATES! I'm on the edge of my chair over here.

Also, don't forget to ask Ryan for the "Deluxe happy ending service package".

I detect a *hint* of sarcasm...

I thought the Happy Ending came with every service? I would have had it towed somewhere else otherwise.

eightplustwo · 01-19-2011, 04:14 PM

UPDATE: car is done, picking it up in about 20 mins.

replacing a radiator is easy why not do it yourself?

I was just messing with you...it was just funny to see a post about a car going in for a new radiator. That would be like me posting I just got my oil changed....haha

Let us know how that worked out for you as I've heard this "area1320" you speak of does good work. I need confirmation before I let them touch my car.

Also, how was the "service"?

eightplustwo · 01-19-2011, 06:48 PM

I do most of my work on the car, and radiator is easy enough. I changed the thermostat and lower hose on Mon thinking it was that until I realized it was a hole in radiator. I already burned a vaca Mon and didn't want to use another day, plus they do great work and much cheaper than the dealer.

Work was done great - he even cleaned my idle tensioner, and I picked up a sweet beanie. Highly recommend those guys.

Khellen I told Ryan you recommended the service...

RyanG · 01-19-2011, 07:02 PM

lol.. Khellen, wait till I see your sexy balled head raawwwwr hahaha

Ej6Mike · 01-19-2011, 07:16 PM

They will do a Grade A job fixing it!

I feel your pain... Cars at a shop right now... no rad replacement.... New HG's, Timing belt, tensioners, pump, a few seals, ect. Gonna feel like a brand new car when its done, lol.

eightplustwo · 01-19-2011, 08:30 PM

They did do a great job! Two thumbs up, and a high five.

Sorry man, but your car will run like a champ when done.
