My story: A code 1757 for your Infinity car is either a confirmed death sentence or a relatively simple fix depending on who you speak with. After doing research and learning more about what was involved and the most probable fix I commenced in trying to find a shop that would do the work. Not surprised "no one" would do the work that was required to make the simpler repair and I was quoted either complete replacement and or parts replacement that both exceeded the actual value of this older car I handed down to my son. We are talking thousands for the "repair"/ "replacement" in different versions from every shop I approached even after explaining what I had researched as the probable cause and described fix. "Rabbitt out of the hat" As I continued looking for qualified shops knowing that if I couldn't find someone who knew these cars and their issues I would be under the car myself attempting the repair. I finally ran across TEMIS! What caught my eye was their online presence prescribed them as Infinity specialist. As soon as I made the call I knew I found the right shop. I described my issue to the consultant on the phone who than said let me let you speak to my Father. I was shocked... This was actually a family business and within a minute I was speaking with Temis the father the owner. I again explained the issue and as I continued he jumped in and took over and confirmed everything I was about to say and how he does the repair covering everything I had researched and had understood. He than gave me a verbal estimate providing when he got the car that the issue was as we thought. I was blown away!!! Finally not only someone who knew how to "fix" the car but also someone who wasn't taking advantage of a situation. I had my wife and son drop the car the next day. At around 5 o'clock the shop sent me text pictures of the transmission TCM as well the valve body and pan showing the results of their teardown. Temis than called me direct and confirmed the initial prognosis and said he would be looking more into the trans for any further issues but expected the car to be done the next day. The next day I recieved a stream of pictures of the car with a complete inspection of everything. Some things I was aware and some things not. Nothing urgent and as a DYI kind of person with my vehicles found the information accurate and appreciated the detail of the description of the inspection backed by pictures verifying the findings. I than called the shop confirmed the charge for the repair and again spoke to Temis who said the car was repaired and running well from his test drive. I loaded up with my son and we went to collect the car. The front office was awesome telling us a little about their business than took us into the shop which is actually massive with specialty cars and equipment. This is a top notch repair facility. Porsche on the alignment rack and high end foreign cars "everywhere"! I found that they do alot of mods for cars as part of their business as well. I met Temis and we shook hands. We told him how much we appreciated his honesty and the repair and what we found trying to find someone. Needless to say very impressed and thankful for a real mechanic that now has my business in the future!
