    Don't, simply "don't"!..... Slow, expensive, over-looked important items, lacked professionalism and then finally rude. All the hallmarks of a dysfunctional business. ******* Continental *********** Service description: full service, fluids, tune-up and maintenance.Brought a low mileage barn find sitting for some years for full service. Advised it would be 1-2 weeks. Took 4 weeks and the returned incomplete, thought the final bill total was their phone number and overlooked the most fundamental items:1) Their idea of tune-up is plugs, wires, cap. Nevermind about timing, points, vacuum lines. Not done and car runs like #$^%@2) Totally ignored carburetor with sticking throttle, loose intake and choke 3) Replaced rear brakes but did not bleed correctly 4) Transmission not checked. Low fluid and slips 5) After 4 weeks, only on day of return, they advise "a small leak" from hydro-boost ($500+). Diagnosis completely wrong but split $25 power-steering line that dumped entire p/steer fluid within 5 miles.6) Loose fan belts pointed out from day one not replaced and still loose.7) Did good job with fuel ************ replacement and radiator replacement but 50% mark-up on parts Car has factory body, paint and top and yet left to sit outside in the rain for 4 weeks when not worked on even though free and available bays indoors. Commented twice on this and yet continued the practice. Did not even clean car upon completion.Waiting 2 weeks to discuss modest $500 compensation but owner doesnt return phone calls. Sends one email that is simply rude.Might be ok for your winter beater but dont take anything nice to them.
