Hi,
looks like it’s time for Marlene to get a service (stop sniggering at the back, sheesh...). I’ll be talking to my friendly local garage - they were very good with my Skoda (they were Skoda dealers, then not, then are again), and I have no reason to assume that they will do a bad job on the Crossfire.

I came across this web site: Chrysler Service | Chrysler Servicing | Chrysler Car Service | Chrysler Car Servicing

I’m wondering if this seems like a good/bad idea. What I don’t know is where they will be taking the car.

I could, I guess, do the job myself (if I knew what was involved and could keep dry), but I’m dreadfully inexperienced in these matters.

 

Dr. Who fan, eh?

Any mechanic you can trust can handle servicing the crossfire. I took mine to the fellow we use and he took one look and said it was a great engine, easy to work on, no problem. I like to do mine myself, but there is that threshold where you get in above your head. You have to be honest with yourself about your abilities. If you have doubts, don't do it.

 

Very much so, and very impressded by the “reboot”. There is a very high failure rate for revivals.

I have doubts. I _should_ know this stuff, but my life has gone along a very different tack to others who seem quite happy to take their cars apart at meets.

 

Servicing at any garage is expensive - this company is no better, the basic service on offer is just an oil change!

The full service is also just an oil change - plus a new air filter and fuel filter.
All the other items are just "checks". Note if "Special Oil" is needed (and we only use Mobil 1) there is an extra charge, and if plugs are needed, more extra charges.

Halfords will also do a cheaper oil change if that is all thats required! We can do all the other stuff at one of the meets.

Mmm nice business!
