That's kind of a predicament I don't want to be in. There are plenty of dealers around here, but Fairfax is the closest and that's a pain to get to. I'm not "rural" like some folks but not close to everything. I'm spoiled since my 325 has really been very good and with the Bentley isn't terribly hard to work on.

I was on vacation with the Sienna and replaced a dying battery in the Wal Mart parking lot at 10pm. Something to be said for simple.
