@ChrisQP_M139 Thank you for your generosity in paying it forward to The Children’s Cancer Research Fund God bless Dominick
Just a note -- I have recently implemented a true "pay it forward" model when I help people on this forum or others that heard of me ( mechanics, youtubers, DIY's etc) I work on a “pay it forward” arrangement when helping owners avoid unnecessary parts, labor, and downtime. I've had great success in saving people a considerable amount of money though my work and simply ask you pass it forward and help others who are less fortunate or having hardship. I feel strongly around charity and the impact it can have. If you feel at the end of helping you thru all the work to a successful completion and the way I handled your case was valuable, a donation to the charity will be requested. I believe it’s a fair way to value the time and expertise I provided For the price of a nice meal for the family or a case of wine, you're back on the road, plus you've helped someone in this world who needs it. I do not take a cut of the donation and all proceeds go to the good cause. I have implemented this new structure a few months ago and already we have collected and donated a few thousand dollars Thanks to all Dominick Disclaimer: The content provided by Flash32 is for general informational and educational purposes only and does not constitute professional or certified automotive advice.

Dominick, I like the Pay It Forward model you've created. I was a bit cautious (wrongly!) walking into our phone discussions, thinking how is this virtual assistance going to help me. Within minutes I was taken back, not only with your knowledge, but your patience to walk me through the testing, diagnosis and fixes. You literally SAVED ME A FORTUNE! Switching over existing parts to diagnose the issue, instead of needing to go out and just buy new parts, spending time to truly get to the route cause, providing recommendations on which parts to buy and from where, increasing my knowledge of the car and so much more. So often mechanics are quick to either sell you whole assemblies ($$$$) or charge for hours upon hours of work. ........ not to mention the feel good factor of passing it on. Thanks again for the support to get my 360 back on the road.
