Did you get rid of the Redline? Not doing burnouts using the ebrake anymore?

Yeah the LNF cobalt is basically a better version of the redline.Better suspension higher geared trans 18in wider rims also love the turbo sound with the short ram intake.I haven't been able to compare the speed yet still breaking in the engine got 40 miles on it 460 to go lol.

Anywhere would be better. Berglund are nothing but crooks. I have several horror stories about them, but the latest involves them replacing an O2 sensor in my Jeep under warranty. I should have known better than to give them another chance, but I did anyways. Never again.

I had a CEL come on on my Jeep. Went to Advance and they pulled the code. Front O2 sensor. Something that can be changed on a Jeep in like 15 minutes. Part cost maybe $25.

But, I had a warranty and it was covered, so I figured I'd let them fix it. Took them the reading Advance did and had them fix it. They "diagnosed" it again. Okay, maybe they don't trust Advance's diagnosis, so no big deal. Except they charged me a $75 diagnostic fee. Didn't know this until I picked my car up after the repair. They also charged me close to $100 in "shop fees". So it cost me almost $175 to have my car fixed under warranty.

This was after I had taken my car back to them because it was idling rough and had stalled a couple times. They hooked it up to the computer, didn't see anything, and said "well, Jeeps do that". This was a 2006 Wrangler that had 17k miles on it at the time. I should have learned my lesson right then, but I didn't.

Unless you approve the work to be done they cannot charge you.The fee to look at my car was 95 dollars but since it was under warranty it was free and they(GM) gave me a free rental for 13 days.They were also clueless about my car cause it was misfiring on 3 cylinders so for 4 days they couldnt find the issue till they called gm and they told them to do a leakdown.After that it was all good fixed it runs great.I never really had my car in the shop thats why I dont know where to go I've always worked on my own stuff,but now I just dont have the time to do anything complicated or time consuming wish I had a lift would make life easier.
