Scott-

When it's something I can't do myself, or if I'm just not comfortable
"giving it a shot", I take my '93 90S to Luigi or Angelo at Import Auto
Center in Glastonbury. (633-2769 or 633-1025).  They know what they're
doing, they get your car back to you when they promise, they're always fair
with the 'labor' portion of the bill, and they always call if they run into
something unforseen 1/2 way into a job.  I've been taking my '87 Merkur
XR4Ti to them for several years.  They are NOT, however, cheap.  Cheaper
than the dealer? Yes! But Luigi almost always uses factory parts.  Rarely
does he use aftermarket or rebuilt parts.  And he's not happy until the job
is done right.  That's OK with me but it often impacts the final price.
