Thank you for your kind suggestion. I did call some shops and they all ask me to drive their shops for inspection, despite I already paid for a diagnosis. I am looking for people knows how to do it and I am willing to pay for the job, would you recommend someone you know? I am in East bay (Fremont, Newark area). Thank you! -Jack ---

I think you made your point with the first response you made. @JackZ you might want to try Mechanics Files on [cartalk.com](http://cartalk.com). Our users are pretty scattered. You can also try yelp and google and asking around your personal network. ---

Yeah, I am hearing that. There is a project underway to try to get them updated. As they say, your mileage may vary, depending on where you are.
