    Hi all, I’m giving my 2011 to my son and I’d like a top to bottom inspection to see if there are any major repairs needed before giving it to him. It’s at about 170k miles.

    Thanks for any referrals.

    If you make the long trip to Madison, I'd be happy to check it out at my shop.
    Feel free to call and chat when you have time.

    What kind of maintenance have you done in general? Any big service/repairs done?

    Oh! Madison, Wisconsin. Thought we were talking Madison, Iowa. 300 miles is a tad far but thank you for letting me know. :)
