Good luck with whoever you choose!

thanks, I actually work in Redmond, so the eastside is not a problem. I will be contacting you. And just so you know, I am having the Upper Timing chain/Vanos area noise coming from the front of the engine.

Great. I'm not a Service Advisor so you won't be talking to me. Ask for either Derek Simonsen or Andrew Newell, both will take good care of you.

I'll let them know that you'll be calling. :)
