The Firestone shop up here is great. They are just like any mechanic, some are good and some are not. The name on the sign has nothing to do with the quality of the employees.

Years ago my brother had Firestone install a new fuel pump in his Ford Tempo he had at the time. The next time he went to fill the tank, fuel started gushing from the fill pipe (they forgot to re-attach the filler tube/hose to the tank).

Needless to say he never went back to them for anything.

bought it for 5500, have put in almost 3000 in 5 months.

btw they did go back and fix it for 50 bucks, it was a heater hose connector.

just hope its done with its initial problems, and i can enjoy her now. getting true duals done in spring.
