Like right now I have some sort of intermittent gas leak, especially on cold mornings, but not every cold morning, I get a really strong gas smell in the car that lasts a while.

Albany had the car for 2 days, couldn't replicate my complaint and sent me out on a 2000 mile road trip, I made sure I was packing a fire extinguisher, but I'd really much rather have had the problem fixed.

Dealer shop rates would kill me if they were to disassemble the intercooler and check all of the injectors and gas lines, but LIC is booked for a couple of weeks out and its tough for me to get to Hayward-

So I'm putting up with it for now, but I'd really like to have someone who knows these cars inside and out to spend some time on it and actually find, diagnose and fix my problem, without costing me an arm and a leg- and they might as well change the oil while its up on the rack too.
