I sure can vouch for that, they will take your money and run. The last fix I
had performed cost me 110 bucks (in Jan of this yr). I had a non working
speedo and took it to them, they said they would give me a new one because
it was shot. I lifted my eyebrows at this knowing they don't make em
anymore. It worked till about August. Took it in again to the same folks.
Got some run around but decided to just get it fixed and not deal with their
BS. This time I asked the guy what the warranty was and he said it was one
yr. I then inspected the invoice for this in writing.. he broke in and said
"oh its not on the receipt (invoice) but we guarantee it for a year". I just
gave him the ole dumb look like I believed him.


I am going to hold it to him though. When it breaks again in 6 months I am
gonna walk in there with a TV crew.
