I bought a code reader and do it myself. If it is an emissions thing I notify my mechanic on the next oil change and we look into it. I clear the codes myself. I haven't had anything serious yet. 2002 Conti (amazing vehicle). The reader has paid for itself already. I also used it on my wife's...

Ok ... small point I guess but the turn signal clicks on my 2002 Conti are REALLY LOUD! Is there anyway to reduce the volume? My mechanic told me they come from the sealed lighting module and he couldn't do anything about it. Man it bugs me! Other than that ... I LOVE this car.
