It is on Marret, so probably.  I do not know the
cross streets.  it is about .4 miles west of the
intersection of Marret and Waltham St.

Update on the service;

About 4 days and 450 miles after the service even
very small bumps made a loud thunk from the front
end.

I called them, they send over a service tech the
next day to check safety, then took the car into
the shop.  The sway bar was defective, and the
plastic end had split.  They fixed it, and delivered
the car back to my home.

I do not know if they screwed up the install or the
part was really defective, but it was good they followed
up so quickly, and without any need to drop off the car...
