Based on the way my '99 SVT is behaving lately, I am pretty sure it needs new front struts, and it's also due for 60k mile service. Can someone recommend a dealer or service center that they have had good experience with in the Fairfax County area?

Thanks in advance!

As far as Ford dealers go, I've always had good luck with World of Ford in Alexandria. Talk to Ben Domingez if you go there.

Also see this thread if Jerry's is close to you:

Jerry's is closer to Fairfax than Ourisman World of Ford. Just FYI.

Sheehy Ford seems to be pretty good. They did the 99m03 wiring harness replacement on my '96 Contour without giving me any crap, unlike warranty-Battlefield Ford.

I can tell you cystal ford, apple ford, Starting Gate Service Center, Safford Lincoln Mercury, and Academy Ford charge a ton for labor.

I might be taking my car to Hill & Sanders Ford for my clutch work. The quoted me the best hourly rate. I have no idea what kinda work they do though.

Andy W. The problem with America is stupidity. I'm not saying there should be a capital punishment for stupidity, but why don't we just take the safety labels off of everything and let the problem solve itself?

Unles they've changed since I last took my car there, Sheehy can go f*** themselves. The service I got was so bad that I had to work my way up the corporate ladder until Jacque Nasser's office had to get involved.

Hell, I don't know. They did the 99m03 recall and only screwed a couple of things up. They ran the throttle cable OVER the coolant tank, instead of under, they didn't re-install a ground wire to the coil pack, and I think they might have messed up my right-side headlight, because the bulbs don't fit tightly into it. It might have been like that before, I don't know. I'm not really concerned about it, especially as the headlights are starting to yellow and I was going to replace 'em anyway.

They also dropped the radiator on the floor so I got a new radiator from them.
