Oh boy, what do you do when two dealers couldn't fix the problem, the same dealers that sold the car new.
Following all the factory service bulletins, you clean every ground connection and put three fuel pumps in the same car. Your friend who has just rebuilt the car is ready to tear it to pieces and use it for parts after he spent a considerable amount of time fixing it and the gentleman who bought it can't get it to start cold.
$5000 car torn apart for scrap or can you fix it?
Another one comes in your shop, the engine is liquid locked with gasoline, full of gas to the filler cap. Even with the key not in the ignition switch it empties the gas tank into the block and cylinders.
(leaking replacement windshield got water in the ecu and opened the injectors even with the key out of the switch, we put the ecu in a bag until he could get the glass properly sealed)
If you came into my shop with the "I don't believe you" attitude, you were invited to find another shop that could live up to your standards. I once called the cops to keep me from disassembling a full bird Colonel who told me I had wrecked his car and I was lying about everything I told him was wrong with the car, when his worthless KID who jump started the car backwards and fried the injectors and computer, and wrecked it, then pushed it to 40 MPH and dropped the clutch in 3rd gear trying to start the liquid locked engine and bent 3 connecting rods (60 PSI compression with no appreciable leak down).
The KID called me the next day and told me he had done it and apologised, but his worthless coward of a father didn't have the cohones to tell me he was sorry.
I'm not going to try to tell you how to tell an honest person from one who is dishonest, but most reputable shops are always busy and have a loyal clientelle, and every one of the shops in the small town where mine was were good honest people.
