Default Local mechanic?

Been having cooling issues with my s2. Brought to the dealer 2 times but always comes back with same problem. I don't think they're as knowledgeable there than what I have originally hope for.

Car is under warranty but want to get a second opinion since I'm going to send the car back again (3rd time) but they're closed today.

Hey, if you want it to get fixed right call up Infinite Motion in San Marcos. Talk to Gavin, he has a S2K himself. I could have saved some money by having the dealer install new plugs for free from s2k recall but I just bought the NGKs myself and had Gavin install them while my S was being worked on. I didn't want to risk the dealer Mechanics messing something up. (I've heard horror stories)
And I do know Gavin has had a coolant issue with his S before so I'm sure he knows exactly whats wrong once he looks at it.

Tell him Alim with the white S2 sent you.

Good Luck Bud!

Tried calling them but they're not picking up. Probably closed since it is labor day. Will try to call again.

We were closed on Monday, returning our voice-mail messages as we speak.

Just want to thank Gavin again for his expertise. If not for him i would not have known how DANGEROUS of a condition the car that I bought was in. Hope to be in a better S2K soon. Time to look around.
