Message	If this car I'm looking at just had the motor serviced including turbos worked on (he said he spent $3,700) and its at 69k then the probability of needing to pull the engine for anything anytime soon is pretty low right? He listed so many things changed so quickly I can't remember and I don't remember what he said was done to the turbos. I used to work on my sportbikes so I can do the timing and change sensors, power steering, water pump, alternator myself, I just have never pulled an engine before and I really don't want to because it sounds scary. So you've heard bad about Z Doctor? Who should I go to in Tampa area?
