Peter Schmid isn’t the shop it was 20 years ago. I believe it’s changed owners. It used to be the preeminent shop but it has its share of unhappy customers these days. Sun Valley in Pacoima (SoCal) gets far more praise on this forum.

If indeed the secondary pump is leaking should I have them just replace the 2 or 3 seals or have them eliminate the pump?
