I need to get a radar detector / laser defense system DE-installed from a car. I’m not messing around when I say reputable, either. I need somewhere that I can absolutely guarantee that the job will be done extremely professionally. This isnt a 240 or anything and I understand this isn’t the right place to be asking about a non-nissan but I don’t really have anyone else to ask 😃 It’s called a Passport SRX [http://www.passportsr1.com/srx.htm](http://www.passportsr1.com/srx.htm) I think it’s probably fairly high-end so I need someone who has installed or de-installed one of these before. Thanks in advance guys/gals. ---

Farms, I’m not trying to put you down or anything - dont take it the wrong way. I’m bringing a nearly $300,000 car to get some equipment removed and I can’t justify bringing it to somewhere that doesn’t specialize in luxury and exotics. I’m not saying you would fuck it up, I know you wouldn’t and I’m sure you are more than qualified to do the easy work. I need to keep in mind that when the car is being sold and I’m showing the service records to the potential buyer that he is well aware of the quality of work of the business on every bill that I show them. This has nothing to do with the quality of Farmers work, it has to do with the reputation behind his shop which he unfortunately hasn’t had time to build up yet she he just opened it. The costs to remove it aren’t an issue, it’s only a small job and $80-$100/hr or whatever isn’t a problem. Thanks for the tips, regardless… ---

well… take the car to the Dealer for that car then. $300,000? it must be a lambo / ferarri / aston martin etc… go to Gentry Lane, or one of the places that specializes in those cars that is not run by cocky italians and you should be fine. i can appreciate what you mean by not trusting it to a smaller shop… if your neck is on the line then you should take it to a plaec where if something bad happens, the fault will quite obviously fall on the place doing the work and not you. ---

I’m in shock right now… I just got off the phone with Gentry Lane and wrap your head around this one… They won’t even work on the car because it’s too new. They said “you would be out of your mind to take it anywhere other than the dealer, we won’t even touch it” what the hell? ---
