After an uneventful trip from the DC area, my S500 Coupe is cranking but not starting. Recommendation of a good indie much appreciated.

TIA

Look up Blue Ridge in the local phone book.

Good honest shop.

I've heard nothing but good reports on the dealer there too. I think the name is Brown's? They did a PPI for me and were extremely good and helpful and reasonable. They work closely with the MBCA chapter in town and give an MBCA discount too I think.

I've heard nothing but horror stories regarding the dealers in/around S.W VA.. They are what gave me my start when I was in Lexington..no one w/ in an hour of me wanted to use the dealer and thus the phone started to ring once word got out that I was working on these cars.


There was 1 indy in C-ville I had heard good things about..all I can remember is he was on top of a hill...:-/

The problem turned out to be low fuel. My daughter drove the car down from DC and parked it on a steep sideways slope. The gauge was showing about 1/8. I put 4 gallons of gas in it and it started uneventfully. I then drove it to a gas station and put another 20+ gallons in it.

So my nightmare of having to by an ignition module or some other expensive part from a dealer didn't happen.

Thanks for the responses.
