I have been actively reading the DML, seeing all these problems that seem to arise after having sent a vehicle to a repair shop. I thought it would be a good idea if, as a group, we came up with some basic items and created a pre / post -repair checklist. Such things as the condition of various parts of the car, and functionality of lights, switches, etc.. It would certainly save everyone headaches when getting their cars to a local shop, by haveing the mechanic as well as yourself to check seals, switches, rips, dents etc.. and both of you signing off on the sheet what needs to be done. I know that there is a stnadard battery of tests that some Car audio dealers check before working on a vehicle. This same principle should help everyone, as many repair shops ignorantly start tearing into the car to see what's wrong, and break other things in the process. Anyone want to tackle this one? -Jeff Chabotte Norwich, CT
