[venturaII]

Unfortunately, warranty and recall work has to be done by dealerships. No options there. I've worked at a couple of dealerships (as well as a couple of independent shops) over the past 30 years, and what I've seen is exactly why I'm so reluctant to bring a car that is currently in perfect running shape in to have the majority of the motor disassembled by someone who is trying to make time on a big job that is already paying fewer hours than non-warranty/recall work..

Again, if anyone in this area has already had this done, or simply has had demonstrably positive experiences at a particular dealership, I'd appreciate knowing where you went. My local dealer ship immediately started tap-dancing when I asked them how many of these recalls they'd already done...
