http://www.fifthgear.biz/ in Lewisville.. Anyone have any experience with them? I'm visiting them later this week to look at a car. Thanks! Todd
I've had the gear oil in the 328 changed by them. Seemed like straight shooters. Place (service bay) is always busy and their inventory seems to turn over pretty quickly. I understand that the owners are friends of fchatter Atlantaman, you might give him a buzz. In the market for a pbug?
One of the partners is my neighbor and I agree that they are good guys to deal with. They have worked on my Audi, Spec Miata and F355 Spider. Work has always been done well, on time and a reasonable price.
I went and testdrove a 740iL in late December at Fifth Gear. Ricky took care of me that day. I had conversed with Bill by email a few times. After driving the car, I received an email from Bill asking if I had any more questions. I replied that I had questions about the service history, and the condition of the interior. He didn't reply, and I waited a few days and sent another with a few more questions. Still no reply. I work long hours, and depend on email for a great deal of my communication (for those wondering why I didn't call the dealership.) Made me feel as if my driving an hour each way just to look at that specific vehicle at that specific shop was a waste, and they didn't want to sell the car. Car is still listed - http://www.autotrader.com/fyc/vdp.jsp?car_id=206368857 And I was serious about buying a car. This beauty came home with me Friday night- Image Unavailable, Please Login
Congrats! You picked up a very nice LS430! I'm partial to Bimmers (as my username states), but the LS430 in the long run probably be a more trouble-free car.
I sold our 740iL a couple of years back. It a car that does not nickel and dime you, but 1k's and 2k's you. And thats if everything goes right. But what a fantastic machine !
