Default A few questions

Hi there,
First of all, I'm wondering where you Los Angeles folks are getting your out-of-warranty C-5's serviced. I was going to John Hicks at Albertson in Culver City, but now he's gone. Anybody have any recommendations for the best West L.A. service? I have a bad oil pressure sensor, I'm out of warranty, and I think I'm about to get screwed real good!

Also, another question for the group: How come the suggested tire pressure numbers that are posted on the car door don't take into consideration what make or type of tire is on the car? Shouldn't the tire manufacturer be the one to determine the optimum pressure? I don't get it.
Thanks in advance...it's great to know you're all out there!

Rick R.
