Description of Work: The folks at Lefty's worked on my 2001 Ford Focus and fixed various issues, including a stubborn short that caused by dashboard and tail lights to not work. They also flushed my cooling system and addressed other maintenance items. | |When I dropped off my car I was offered a ride to the Jefferson Park CTA stop which I accepted. Within hours the folks at Lefty's diagnosed the issue with my car and told me it would be ready by 3pm that day - it was. The short that caused my lights to go out wasn't an easy one to address - I was told that shorts are tricky and can sometimes reappear, so there was a possibility I would have to return. Several days later, the short struck again, but the folks at Lefty's identified the problem (erosion at the junction of the license plate lights and the connectors) and fixed it. Week later, no problems. | |My car has over 100,000 miles on it and I will rely on Lefty's to keep it running.
