I'm sorry, Mr. common sense, but the "rest of us" have reason not to
go running to the dealer****p just to have our wind****eld washer fluid
changed.
Do you wish you owned a GM vehicle with Onstar, so you could push the
blue button to ask "what does that red light on the dash mean, the one
with the person sitting and it looks like a belt strapped to him? Is
my car going to blow up?"
We've all had horror stories from our stealer****p, like:
Paying $350 for an emissions repair only to later find out that it was
supposed to be free, covered by warranty. The dealer****p denied it all
the way untill their hand was forced. To make matters worse they
accidentally dented my rear bumper but denied it completely because I
only noticed after I left the dealer****p.
Just recently, a friend of mine took his Altima to get the check
engine light diagnosed . . .at the dealer****p. They came back with a
quote of $1000 for the repair. I said nonsense. I advised him to take
the car to autozone and have them read the code. I know form
experience that the vast majority of check engine codes are minor
emissions or engine related issues. Guess what? The code was a faulty
crank sensor. The dealer****p somehow managed to blow that up to $1000.
Please. Puh-lease.
