Ok so when you cant figure out the problem on your own what two choices do you pick, a dealership or a local family type shop?

Of course I need to take the thing in for service otherwise like I said to another member its just one giant die cast model so I would also like to question why you choose the dealership or the small timer.
 
:slam

And I was excited about my first poll:(

:lol:
 
you should have put

would burn the car to the ground before I let either touch my car

I would have voted for that
 
Stealership but only because it's still under warranty. The Mark I do some things myself if I'm to lazy to get dirty/it's to dam cold outside or it's something I'm not comfortable doing(i.e. gear swap) I have a mechanic I trust.
 
Well i usually like to read up on the problem and then run to my buddies shop and get the code or let him service it as i am to scared to put my own hands in their might as well let someone with proper training do it. This goes for major things as for small things myself

Yeah, I know but Im in no situation to fix this thing myself. I don't have the equipment to even properly diagnose it and I live in a apartment:mad:

Im assuming this is the mystery no start issue needing fixed.

Yup, apts. suck for car work

I guess in your case either find a reputable independent shop who is familiar with the LS or find some other (knowledgeable) LS'ers close by that could help by swapping sensors / other parts etc. Keep the dealership in mind as a last resort.
 
The mechanic that retired from the Lincoln dealership here and does it out of his garage now that lives about 10 minutes away. :)
 
I take mine to the dealership for warranty things. Everything else I have a mechanic who I love and is awesome. And he loves my car, which is a super plus.
 
Back when I bought it I took it in for anything since it was covered but now that all that is over I have a mechanic that I trust and he knows alot about them. I have been dealing with him for awhile so I trust him more than the dealership that I bought it at, long story.
 
Dealer. Still under warranty. Dealer for basic manage too. $20 oil changes.
 
Dealer when it was under warranty but NEVER again. It hasn't happened yet but if I had a problem I couldn't fix I'd take it to this guy that is about 4 miles off of any major road. All my friends use him. Just one example of how this guy works was when my friend took his truck in with broken AC he said it was some kind of simple thing and charged $20. I can't see a dealership coming close to that. Same guy's motor blew recently and he replaced it for $950. Runs great.
 
If I can't fix it it don't get fixed. :p
But in the extreme case that there is a problem which I cant figure out and I need a control module tested I think I'd take it to the dealer. If they can't figure it out I tell them, NO pay for you! Next!
 
C - None of the above

Unless it's covered under some kind of extended factory warranty, then A. And even then I buy my own parts and put them in with the help of NickT.
 
Dealer because I dont really know anybody....any one in the NY NJ area that thinks they could work on my LS for a reasonable fee is welcome to work on my ls. Yeah, thats a real indirect way of asking if anybody would be willing to work on my car....
 
You get what you pay for...I'd rather have someone who knows my car work on it...if I got a Ex-Ford motors guy in my neighborhood or at a mom/pop shop...I'd let him touch my car...but I am not doing any jiffy lube :q:q:q:q or retards that never knew an LS even existed :P
