Default Off to Elite Motor Sport, Medford NY for TB Service.

Sal is an employed Audi Tech @ Storms. He does Indy work fro home on off days.

Its about a 45 minute ride, but the price was right and his rep is stellar.

I pull up to his house and see at least 5 A4s or S4 in many differnt modded forms. "OK I'm in the right place."

Sal (30 ish 2 kids 1 on the way) comes out and opens his two car garage door. (The garage is about a story and a half tall.)

Inside is full size car lift, two or three motor hoists/jacks, a 10HP Air compressor, Rows of MAC Tools and chests, Shelves of M1 0W-40 and many styles of oil filters.

"OK, I'm really in the right place."

He meets my wife who followed in her Cab, We make small talk and he says come back at 4. It will be done.

"Change the oil and filter while its there, please, I also smelled a bit of antifreeze when I shut down, so perhaps you will see where its comming from being you are doing the Water Pump anyway."


No problem says Sal, se you later.

(TB Service only 350.00 for his labor, plus the Oil Change.)

Default You did an exhaust recently, and car could be adapting to that maybe?

Your water pump, or 1 of the pullies that was replaced could have been on it's way out, and causing drag also?

Default Just as an aside as we tend to complain here wasn't it nice to do business with someone who was

pleasant, helpful and did a good job. I always appreciate that.
