so find a quality indy mechanic or get ready to get greasy! most on here find doing it yourself is the best way to maintain these cars
Already got the dealer with the SRT certified mechanic or I wouldn't have bought the car. About 15 minutes from my house. Backup dealer is an hour away in Hartford, CT. That's who's sold the car as a CPO and serviced it for the past three years. I know them well. Both these dealerships survived the Chrysler dealer restructuring during bankruptcy. I'm lucky in that I'm in the NY Metro area. Lots of large Chrysler dealerships in my area and people here wouldn't have blinked at the $50K price tag on a Crossfire when new. Lot's of SRT cars on the road here so dealers have SRT certified techs on staff.
But, I must admit that Crossfires are a rarer sight than Ferrari's here. It was snowing/sleeting/raining last Thursday morning and I saw a guy on the way to work in a dark gray 599GTB. He was doing OK on the slick roads. I'll probably see one Ferrari per week along with Bentley's, Aston's, Jags, Lambo's, and lowly AMG's or M3's out the wazoo. There's a Lotus dealer down the street from my office so I see Exige / Elise all the time around Stamford. There's even a guy with a Ford GT that brings it to the office once in a while. But, I remember seeing only two SRT6's in the last 5 years. We may not drive a super car but we do drive a rare car. And a damn good looking one too!
