Let me know how your experience goes. I will probably take a drive out their one day to check out the facility. If all goes will I will give them a shot.

Take care.

Steve

I have 2 GREAT Indys in Central NJ, ie no more than about 15 mins from Outerbridge Crossing
1) German Car Shop - 2229 Rte 27, Edison NJ. 732-287-8959 Fair prices and excellent workmanship
2) Eurosport of Westfield - 459 North Ave E, Westfield NJ. 908-654-5228, ask for Sean. Also excellent work, little cheaper prices than German Car Shop, which in turn also means you may have to wait for an appointment.

Good Luck,
Ed in NJ

OT: ChilliWilli: PLEASE, if you're going to quote Hendrix, spell his first name right...It's Jimi not Jimmy.. I know it's a nit, but as a huge Hendrix fan for over 30 years, I choke a little every time I see it mispelled.. Thank you

Not misspelled pal...it's the name industry insiders knew him as including his family and he went by both. "Jimi" was chosen by label reps as it's more marketable. You may know him as a consumer through his art, however i was fortunate to be mentored by an industry veteran that knew him personally. I'm more interested in the incredible human that became "Jimi".

Hendrix was an artist...at the end of the day he and his work are subjective to the beholder.

Next time, feel free to send a PM instead of having to address and waste space on a good thread. Pardon the hijack op...carry on.

Pardon my ignorance..Guess you were partial to information that I never heard before...In everything I have ever read he was referred to as James, James Marshall, or Jimi.. But if you have that kind of inside information, (I've read books about his life and his father always referred to him as James, or Johnny Allen which was his birth name and his brother Leon who runs his foundation "The James "Jimi" Marshall Hendrix Foundation" and protects his license, always refers to him as Jimi), I respect your decision and appreciate your feedback.. I was not trying to be rude, just correct.. Thank you for the clarification..
Ed

UPDATE....

Very impressed with Bay Diagnostics. Al (shop manager) and Jordan (owner) are cool guys. Price was very reasonable and the shop was very "dealer-ish" ..... anton and wil, many thanks...

Cool...if they sponsor the board, i may develop some pro-bono media for their commercial advertising.

Mods, please reach out: [email protected] - Jordan (owner), Al (head-tech).
