^ I am not sure but that is what I heard. To me it doesn't mean much as they have not failed me yet and some of the licenced mechanics have. Just my two cents.

got my appointment with Discovery Honda tomorrow. I spoke with Steve, he was very pleasant. And they were cheaper than Campus by at least 50 bucks $400 worth of service...

Anyone wanna come for a drive with me?

Just had the work done by Discovery. Have to say, they are better than Campus, very curteous and they gave me a courtesy car for the time I was waiting.

They even gave me a discount on the labour...AND washed my car, which today isn't the best day...

glad to hear you had a great experience with our local dealership here in the cowichan valley, they always seem upbeat & friendly when we need their service. We didn't have your cell # and didn't know your appt. time to bad, we could have done lunch or something? Next time eh? Well the sun is supposed to be back tomorrow (Sunday) so more driving ahead. We actually got our hallway painted today, Sheesh Teens & finger prints no avoiding them but now gone yeah!!!!! John & Donna

I have to agree thier service is very very good. I have no complaints about them and the drive is always nice, AND I get a mike burger !!! :-)

I got my new gauges installed yesterday by 5252 and they did a great job. The estimate was 3 hours and that is exactly how long it took. They suggested I get a sandwich adapter for my oil filter connection which would allow me to plug in the gauge for the oil temp instead of having to tap the oilpan. They left the oil sensor zipped to the car and told me as soon as I get the part, bring the car in and they will finish for free. I found the part made by the same company as the gauges and cost under $30.00. Ordered it today.

On the other hand, and shortly I will write up my comments on this experience but Progressive attempted to install the gauges I previously purchased, charged me for over 6 hours of labor and in the end it is my opinion (based on things they said and did) that they blew my gauges. In the end I was out almost $1,000.00 and had nothing to show for it but really nice Blitz gauges that worked as ambiance lighting. Very bad experience for me.
