AREA 451 Cruise Control Installed in Bloomington, MN

I just had a new AREA 451 cruise control installed in my 2008 Cabriole and it is GREAT!

I'm using it on every street and I'm amazed how its improving my gas mileage (avoiding my heavy foot!).

The work was done @ Bobby & Steve's Auto World in Bloomington. Steve is a smart owner & enthusiast and is offering his professional auto care services to get other smart owners the cruise control they need! (added 9/11/09 for clarity)

Its great to know we have a reputable source for product and installation located close to the smart center-bloomington (on France Avenue). I just dropped off my smart and came back after work. It looks like it was original equipment.

The product and installation comes complete as a package for $749 (plus tax). Contact Steve @ 952-484-7920 for more information.

I'm happy I could get it installed before the rally! This will make the drive/caravan MUCH easier!

All I can say is THANKS STEVE!

Yes, ain't it great? (Sorry 'bout the poor grammar)

And the cost is quite a bit better than around here, as I believe scSEA was getting around $1000 total for the cc with install at Car Toys.

Happy trails

Timo

Cool deal, but why didn't you just wait a week and get it installed by the other Steve for like $470 at the rally?

This is for those people who are not attending the rally, or for those who want to get one installed BEFORE the rally.

I'm completely in the wrong business... If I could just find a job where people would pay me $200 to $300 for 45 minutes of work.

That would be great as long as you could average at least one install a day and not have any problems having to replace units or other customer parts.

Now that i've decided to keep my Ike, i've been thinking about saving up for cruise control. SC-Bloomington, be sure to send out a notice in your next email with the cost...
