I concur with Michael's suggestion regards seeing an independent mechanic for that car. I have had very good experiences with Reese Sherbaf at Fairfax Service Center on Prosperity Avenue in Fairfax.

His shop does good work for a fair price and he'll probably be far more informative about the work he'll do than the folks at either ASC or HBL.
