If my car was a horse, and I flopped over the saddle, it would walk me to Schaeffer automotive, simply said, a new radiator, four new tires (where for the time in my life buying new rubber, I've always ask, "without adding height, can the tire be any wider?). Clint finds a tire, less expensive and an increase of an inch of width all the way around, stabilizing the actual feel with an impressive difference, to a car already legendary for its drive (BMW 323i), and under the estimate, yeah, I call Clint and Vic first, and an internet blog coast to coast of mechanic's he trusts. and assistance in financing, is there anything more an auto shop could do? So basically, thank you!
