Has anyone written a tech article on this? I really want my car back.

I doubt this guy will ever get this right. I've tried several mechanics in this area and never found one with any talent - this guy's the best I've found. Can anyone recommend anyone in my area? Since I've moved here I've found nothing but incompetence in every area, not just mechanics.
Do you live in an apartment or house w/ garage?

If you live in a house w/ garage, get a service manual, tools (it will take you a while to accumulate them all), and consult us for help.

I went from wussing out over a spark plug install to doing engine swaps in a few years.

I got tired of being:

1. ripped off
2. ripped off and car messed up.

good luck.
