Collinsville Motorcars. 860-693-4993 (yeah, I have it memorized). It's across the street from the Canoe and Kayak place on the Farmington River. It sounded like he ran into some issues on my car ('04 Aero as well) and it took a little longer than he had planned, but he still only charged me what he quoted me. So if you call and get a bit higher of a price, that may be why. Very much worth the cost though. It feels like he took 80k miles off the odometer. Also, plan on getting an alignment afterward. I got brand new Conti's put on right before having this done and the bushing job totally threw off the alignment.
