It cost significant money, but I am fortunate to be able to afford it. The P car is a very nice object, and I like to treat it well.

As far as the indy shop thing a few comments. They did no work I did not specifically ask them to do. I trust them to be competent. If they had brought something else to my attention, I would have probably had them do it too. I mentioned they were indy as a point of interest only, as in not the dealer. As far as adding the reputable shop part, there are indys and there are indys. Taking your car to Jake Raby (for instance) is quite different than taking your car Jiffy Lube, I though it might be of interest to anyone reading the thread where the work was done. Glad it brought you amusement. I didn't post the name because I didn't know if it was allowed on the forum.

If anyone wants to talk with me about the shop, PM me and I'll get back to you.
Which is why if you read my post I said not trying to be rude. I do it too. if you go back and look at my posts, I say the same thing. Wasnt a knock on you man...I find it funny when I say it or anyone else who does.

good idea to do both sides of the rear bearings IMO.

The labor is the expensive part of that job and if one side has gone ... I know as I'm just about to replace both rear next week. Only one side gone as well.


otherwise sounds like you have all bases covered .... enjoy!!
