    If I was to take it anywhere...... about 4 of them that have been in business for over 3 decades and have a lot of good reviews. I would go the route of looking at longevity and reviews as I have been in Sanford only once in my life and it had nothing to do with a boat.

    5.7GI-300-J: left side cylinders not firing- ignition issue???
