Glen: exactly why I also do a large portion of my own work too. If I can't I usually find a marque specific indy shop. Unfortunately, I hadn't found one in the DC area and was about to move and thought foolishly that a national chain could handle a simple alignment.

Guy: They offered to pay for a new door card as the pocket was mounted to the entire thing. Being a 2002 they were NLA and the secondary market parts were garbage. I finally fixed it myself and it looks great but I don't put anything in it and yell at people if they put anything in the passenger's door pocket.

Eric's story got me thinking. I shipped back a E34 M5 Euro when I moved back to the US from Germany. When I picked up from the company that did the final "conversion", I noticed a vibration while driving on I-10. Next day I went to my BMW Indy in San Antonio. Turns out the import conversion shop hadn't tightened one rear wheel properly and it was loose. They of course took no ownership of that, saying that they hadn't had the wheels off. Just lucky it didn't fall off.
