Hi to all,

I'm new in Vancouver (new in Canada actually), got my Contour (97 sport) couple months ago, and I need some decent service, as it seems that catalytic converter is broken, and some regular service as well.

Been in 'Coastal Ford' service in Lougheed Hwy, and I don't want to see them ever again...got $500 bill for oil/sparks/filters change, and for telling me that they need $2500 to fix my catalytic converters (that's for all 3 of them - they believe it's bank 1, but 'strongly recomend' to replace all of them, and then I'll have no problems for sure!!!), as apparently that is the reason for 'check engine' light.
They finally established that after I went there for the 3rd time...

So if anybody can recomend me some mechanic who is not ford dealer preferably, where I can get that replaced (I need to replace brake pads as well), and as well where I can by that converter I'll really appreciate it.

Thanks,
Dragan
