No affiliation with the OP, but her car was mistreated by a quicky-lube place.

help! oil change runied my '80 300D

If there's someone in the Philly area that can get in touch with her either for recommendations of a good indy, or a show-and-tell of the basics of her car, that'd be cool. Yes, she's a grown up and can ask for herself, but she's also new to the forum, so I'm nudging it along.

Her first car, so that compounds things a bit. See the above thread for info.
