    First recommendation?

    Don't worry about it!

    You are just now coming into the nice part of year in SF (with Sep being the highlight) and I would drive the car, enjoy it, bomb up through Marin to have nice dinner in Petalumas Theater District. Wake up and see a beautiful morning and jam down to Half Moon Bay. Do whatever trips with the car in the summer, but do belts in the winter. It will also let you save up money.

    Yeah... You're right... Shouldn't miss the summer... Don't need to save up, but just wondering if also people have had success'/ failure with Indy's...

    I'm a believer in the 3 yr cambelt change, but still debating the major services with the dealership... I have to admit, I myself (when buying) looked for a Fcar with full dealership svc records, but now that I will be keeping this one forever, I'm not so sure if I need to have it serviced by them now...

    Brian Crall in San Ramon. Before calling, take a minute to do a name search on this forum. I recommend him, as he has done all my work for 4 years. He goes by the name Rifledriver on this forum.

    +1. Brian did the engine out major on my Testarossa last year. Not only is he very good, he is also very fair. Besides that, he is also a nice guy. I highly recommend him.

    I would use Kevin McCue at Competizione Motors at Sears Point. (707) 935-7882. He's the guy Dealer's call when they run into trouble on the newer (348 and later) cars.
