Message	And I think you should get a yr warranty after they finally install a good one not keep the warranty going when bad parts are installed. I know when I mess up on someones car I do whatever it takes to make things right. I replaced a turbo for someone with a supra and there was a very small oil leak comming from a gasket. So I fixed the leak free of charge and did 5 free hrs of work on his car diagnosing problems and replacing a leaky coolant line! He insisted to pay me but I wouldn't take money, I just let him buy me some taco bell :]
