And every time I go into that shop, there are always 600 cars in there. I am shocked at the amount of business they get, even from vehicle types they don't sell (Mercedes Benz, etc).
this is exactly what i needed to hear. i have been looking for someone good for a while and mazda of milford is just the worst.

If you are dumping the clutch you are gonna spin the tires. Also how new are the tires? I just put on snow tires and was spinning pretty bad for the first 100 miles or so. Only have 200 on them now and break-in still isn't complete yet. Of course it's also been warm lately so I don't want to burn up the softer compound.

Yeah, they're good.....although, I'll let you make your own judgement. They only treat me so well because I treat them well (buy them drinks, compliment them, etc). i would suggest doing the same, and Bill really is one of the nicest guys alive regardless.

And I hope not too many of you guys are planning on bringing in coffee for Dawn every morning....my kindness may start to lose effect. lol.

The tires were first put on on 2 months ago, and have gone about 8k since they were installed, so they're not that new. But maybe after a couple more grand they'll be better....we'll see.
