[Service #7]
Drop-off Apr. 21, 2008 - 14,726 documented miles; Pick-up Apr. 25, 2008 - 14,731 documented miles

The Lotus was at Lotus Beverly Hills for the Check-Engine Light issue and a few other problems. Allen and Stephan were very helpful getting all the issues fixed!

It turned out that I had faulty ECU, bad catalyst/downpipe, faulty A/C relay and bad cam... Allen and Stephan got all the issues resolved right away under warranty. Two thumbs up to Allen, Stephan and Lotus Beverly Hills!!!
