Tony's corvette shop in Maryland. Hi, Thanks for voicing your opinion and relaying your experience. I actually have not been back after the series of experiences I went through so I can't speak to his service now. The funny thing is that I was after precision and correctness at any price...

Hi Johnny, Thanks very much for your excellent advice. I saved it as a checklist for the next shop that I will do any work next time. I'm not sure who it will be but I've been asking around and have found a couple of places that I will try next time. One is around the Baltimore area which...

Rob, Tony is a personable guy. He's polite and cordial. That wasn't my complaint. My exact problem lies in the quality of the work that was done and how long the job took to complete. Since I paid time and material, I expected a timely job. Instead the work took 7 months when any good shop...

The powermaster factory called to let me know they repaired the alternator and installed a new housing and it's on its way back. They said they had never seen such a catastrophic housing failure before. I told them what happened and they concur. They only charged for replacing the one part and...

Antique Auto Battery Maybe you'll find one there ....

My nightmare with tony's corvette shop in Gaithersburg MD continues. They replaced the heads on my car and took 7 months to finish the job, I drove the car a few times after I got it back and it broke down AGAIN. The incompetent mechanic that did the work already made numerous mistakes but this...

Thanks fellas, I'll check the steering pump hoses visually for kinks and if not, I'll just break down and visit a dealer (cringe). Lee

Hi all, My 07 Z06 has developed a significantly difficult turning problem when standing still. I have to rev it up to over 1500 rpms just to be able to turn the steering wheel when parking. It's ok when I'm driving but a pain in the keester when parking. It only has 5644 miles on it since...

That there is funny. I'm too old for that :-)

Early C4's without bose systems can be upgraded with nearly anything out there without modifications. There are harness adaptors so you don't have to cut anything. We have a 1 and 1/2 DIN radio opening so you have to either buy a 1 and 1/2 din radio/CD/DVD or buy an adaptor. I bought an...

I don't post here often but felt compelled this time. Am I the only one that thinks that outrunning the police hasn't been possible since the late sixties and those cheasy burt reynolds movies? You can't outrun motorola so the concept of a chase car is ludicrous in my opinion. Call ahead and...

Hi, you should use an ohmmeter and measure the resistance across the terminals (or wires). I'm not sure what the readings should be but they should definitely change when you move the float with your hand. If that doesn't happen, you "might" have a faulty sender. I would also check the...

Check your fan relay and fan switch. Are you also certain your temp readout is correct? The original fan turn on number was 228 degrees. Also, look into installing an additional temp fan switch which you can get at mid amierica or any of those places. They sell kits that turn the main fan on at...

tonylong, Here is the antenna amplifier I bought. I hope it's ok to post this. If not, sorry moderators :-) FM Radio Signal Amplifier 15dB Gain Antenna Car Truck - eBay (item 200286241545 end time Jan-07-09 21:33:59 PST) I installed it just behind the stereo head unit which is not the...

Hi all. New guy here. I couldn't stop myself from contributing because I solved this problem for myself. I improved my FM reception dramatically by adding a 25 dollar inline antenna amplifier I bought on ebay. This little amp (4x2x2 inches) needed a 12 volt source which I got from the stereo...
