Hi Team,

I need to call in the professionals for my "rough idle" problem and none of the dealerships around here can service the CRD (gee...they made a diesel version?)

Does anyone have a Los Angeles, Long Beach, SFV, OC or Ventura/Oxnard suggestion for a mechanic who can put his ear to the hood and figure out wtf is going on?

I checked the "Mechanic by State" thread and nothing popped up in my area.

Answering my own post:

Bud's Diesel in Westminster, CA.

http://www.budsdiesel.com

These guys were great. Very happy. Their shop was full of Duramax's and Powerstrokes, but they said my CRD was not the first they've seen.

They diagnosed and replaced a bad injector that was giving me trouble:
