Yeah I know the shop, very reputable guys here in the city. The day I went to pick it up the first thing he asked was if "the car always smoked like that". I had told them it did not and he informed me it had basically been doing it all along as they were in and out of the shop with it. *shrug*
Anyhow, I think I've found someone who is hopefully gonna have a look and take care of me in the near future. Just sad, only got a week of driving in this summer!
