Try Serra in Grand Blanc for the engine. My son just had his 3.6 taken care of there. Quick and no foolin around.
Used to be a good tech at Palace a few years back doing transmissions. Not sure if he is still there.
Thanks - I will probably try Serra.
Unless things have changed in the last 5 years since I left Chrysler - 8 speeds get replaced if something is wrong inside, unless it needs just a mechatronic.
I think you are right - I had talked with the service manager near me last fall & he said the same thing - they won't go in & try any surgery - they just put a new one in. He is a good service manager, it's just that I don't trust their mechanics there requiring any "involved" repair issue. I dropped the car off at Serra early this afternoon. It'll be interesting to see what they determine. They're looking at the rocker tick & trans issues. I'm nervous - I love this car & plan to keep it for a while!
