Re: the shop messed up my 1992 svx lsl

If it wasn't doing it before, and it's doing it now, they screwed something up, get it looked at. If they refuse to fix it, take it somewhere else and send them the bill. If you start messing with it, then the shop can say you did it, I'd take it back and complain, if they are worth their salt, they will make it right.

Agreed, just be respectful and courteous...... even though they messed up I know techs will do a less than adequate redo if someone comes in pissed and barking at them.... no matter how much they deserve it (most places DO a test drive after repairs for this very reason).

Thanks Mike.
I know that there IS a New Kensington outside Pittsburgh, but I was not sure that is where bj lives.
Just look at how many Springfields there are.
