Well, the chocolate starfish customer service award goes to R&L Starters and Alternators in Milton. Not even the good graces to show up. I went there during normal business hours...found a sign on the door saying he'd be back shortly....waited, waited, waited....no show. Don't care how good their work is now. Going to try Lucky tomorrow.
