Idaho, nope, not being argumentative at all. I gave my opinion to your statement concerning the Chrysler mechanics in your area not knowing how to use a torque wrench. IMO that was pretty far fetched and you made them look like fools, something I don't think was called for. Any qualified mechanic working in a dealership has that knowledge, now as someone stated above, they may not use them but that's a different story.

The dealership you are using now, do they sell the Crossfire? If so, they are required to have the trained mechanics which would mean there were more than two of them within a 250 mile radius as you stated in your original post.

There are several large volume dealers in my area that sell many different brands, but they are separate dealerships under one umbrella that have separate showrooms/shops and qualified mechanics for each make. You will not find a KIA tech working on a BMW etc.

Anyway, good luck getting your car properly taken care of in your area... and remember, having a different opinion/view doesn't make it argumentative. I guess I shouldn't have opened my sentence the way i did...
