Good morning,

Can anyone suggest a good Indy shop in Houston,TX or Austin TX?

I'm in Louisiana, and I'm still struggling to find a shop to replace my oil pump pickup tube o-ring. I've called at least ten well-regarded shops... And no luck, I guess they don't like money?

Even though the dealer kept my car all day and didn't diagnose it or perform an oil pressure test, they did acquiesce and quoted me $1500 for the repair. At this point I'll pay the dealer or drive 12hrs away to have it fixed.

Any shop recommendations are much appreciated 👍

Good afternoon forum users,

I recently acquired a 2010 C300 Sport RWD with 80k miles and I'm experiencing a very frustrating problem, that nobody can diagnose?

When the engine sits for more than an hour, the bottom of the engine makes a knocking sound for 2-4 seconds on startup. It sounds like the engine is starved for oil, sounds like a dry start. The idle seems to be a little lumpy for a second when the knocking sound stops.

The engine is smooth and quiet at idle and while driving. The car has Mobil 1 5w40 euro oil and a Mann oil filter, I changed the spark plugs , but the ignition coils are old and the throttle body should be cleaned, but I don't think that would cause knocking.

The
