Even with the reverse camera aid, the precision of the 90 degree turn he does to get off the freeway is mind blowing!

Thought of sharing my experience here. @Grand Civic: Yes, he does all kinds of models. However only EFI. Doesn't take carb models. @jaga: AFAIK, the guy you mention is a very experienced carb repairer. However not a tuner. He's an expert of cleaning and fitting everything to factory defaults, if that's what you mean by tuning :-) @sharkster: I'm sorry to hear your negative experience. I agree with you that he does have a small attitude problem. Unlike you, I didn't had to wait for parts. He takes care of all the stuff and everytime I've been there he's given the car back in a day. I put the car in the morning and it's ready in the evening. Previously I've had a lot of "maka baas" experiences where I had to wait in garages for long periods and had to go part hunting in a trishaw after the baas removes the part and says this needs to repaired. And after returning have found out that I had to go hunting for another part. So between those and ridiculously expensive agents, Lal's joint is a pretty damn solid spot. I don't have to worry about the garage fellows cheating and putting old parts back in and charging for new ones. He is a bit pricey but does a very solid job. Once I had a gear box problem, where when I shift to 4th gear and speed up the gear shifts back to neutral ("top eka paninawa"). Lal said it'll take about 4 days and roughly quoted off hand about 1 lakh. I got it fixed for 4k (yes, 4k, including the labour charges in literally 2 days). If I get all those benefits and in order to get a solid job done I have to tolerate someone giving me the attitude, I'm fine with that. I've found that we can't change other ppl but ourselves. I've been there a few times now and is a very satisfied customer. I don't care about his attitude. The place I get my car tuned is a from Dhammika who lives in kotta road. Only downside is he don't have parts, we have to bring the parts if something need replacing/repairing. The cool thing is he's an exceptional fellow. Once, few months after I had my first tuneup I called the guy and he was not available. The next day he calls me back and asks why did I called, was there something wrong with the car! And I hardly know the guy!

Hi, I have a '91 Corollo DX. Thinking of converting to power steering. Will there be any adverse effects after the conversion? Has any one done it before? If yes, please be kind to advice me.
