......there were no new rotors! Since he had already gone home for the day when I got there, he had left me a note: he found the center steering link to be bad, too, and he was afraid a bad link would mess up new rotors. Since the link was back-ordered until Tuesday, he didn't install the rotors.
I would say this is the mark of a mechanic who can be trusted. Think about it. Thumbs up to a mechanic who is looking out for their customer's best interest.
Today, I had a little bit of a battery/alternator problem, I think.
My guess is that this is the indication that the battery has exceeded it's useful life and it is time for a new one. I would probablly get a new Diehard from sears, but if I had a choice I would get an Optima brand battery. A couple of years ago I was on the Mercedes Vetrans board since my daily dirver was a 1976 Mercedes coupe. There were many glowing reccomendations of the Optima battery and it's reported to have outlasted nearly every other brand by a country mile. I have seen them lately at AutoZone here in the Atlanta area.
Stay cool Brad!
