Ok so, picture this. You come into the shop and you know a little about the car you just bought. Not too much, but you think you can salvage something that's been uncared for. You bring your volvo in and ask if it's worth keeping and using for another few years. You get mostly everything diagnosed. You know that a few things need fixing and a few things dont but a lot of it is a big question mark. GET A DIAGNOSTIC. These boys, while not cheap, will tell you EVERYTHING. They will show EVERYTHING. They will answer EVERY QUESTION, and will answer your million questions. You're paying a decent chunk of change BUT you will have everything explained and taught to you, and they will be patient. If you will be cheap, this isnt the place for you, at all. But if you want everything fixed, without causing you problems in the future, people that are transparent, people that will save a few dollars on parts (but as we all know it's labor that gets you in nyc), people that will tell you what needs fixing now, and what you can repair in 5k, 10k, 20k miles, people that have the ability to bring your home on wheels out of the brink of death? That's commendable. Flexibility for any schedule. Still cheaper than a dealership, don't touch dealerships with a ten foot pole people. These guys are always busy for a reason, come over here if you want to get everything sorted at your own pace. Next time I get over there, I know everything that needs fixing, so they can work out some suspension parts, some fluids, and I've got another car to last me 60k miles, my whole life if I wanted to. Or I could sell my car with a good conscience knowing I'm not giving away a lemon like the last owner.
