So they ended up putting 2 new fuel injectors in her. Total i paid was $641.
Considering each injectors was $108 and i also got an oil change, i didnt think i did so bad...at first....

The thing that made me laugh and yet pi$sed me off at the same time was that when they went through all the things they "recommend" me to get done to my car..you know...i need new brakes, new air filter, and many other things they mentioned...one of those items were new wiper blades. They said they were dry and cracking. Here's the thing, I replaced those on Jan 13... i remember the date cuz it was the morning before i left out of town.
Yet here they are one month later telling me they're cracking.
It just made me question everything they did do to my car and i made sure to ask for the old injectors.
Is this standard practice for them? It's like they didnt even look at them, they just say it regardless.
Although i felt they did i good job an my car (it's running like a CHAMP!:L ) That really bugged me. I really walked out of there feeling like they lied to my face thinking I was an idiot. I will not be returning to that shop....

Here's the 64,000 dollar question.... will i get this same crap anywhere I go?

Just had to let that out....

Next project: 1) replace weather stripping(myself) 2) work on those DAMN swirls.
 
They're all crooks! Beware the STEALERSHIP if at all possible! I recently did a valve cover gasket job myself. They wanted to charge me $650-$1000 to do it. That was not what made me mad. What made me mad was the fact that they were trying to sell me all the parts out of the valve cover gasket kit separately instead of as a kit. I bought the kit from their parts department for $97 tax and all. They were going to charge me $130 in the shop! CROOKS!
 
I know the dealership is fake!!!! They tell you this stuff and dont relize it.....I had a aftermarket filter (cone) and when I went for my 30,000 warranty work they told me that changed the oil and filters(air cabin and engine) and they did abunch of other stuff.....I was like YEAH!!!! BULL SH!T!!!!....I called them out on it....and they were like AAAHHH AHHH We did everything thing else but the engine...I will not go back there....
 
I think most dealership service departments just use your mileage to determine what needs to be done. I dont think they are actually inspected everything to come to their conclusions.
