This has just got to be a racket. You get a quote and as you posted, next minute they say you need to do this and that and suddenly the price has gone up 4-5 times what they quoted.

you guys need to find a mechanic who knows his craft but is not working for the dealerships. My mum has a 3 year old Mini & the prices the BMW dealerships quote are outrageous.

Often with todays cars replacing of leads hoses and a "reboot" of the system computer is a service.

Search the net.

Smart meters aren't so smart.

^ Must be that time of year....

Two weeks ago I got a bill for $570 for replacement of the radiator (which I'm not paying), 4 days later the same issue presented itself (overheating) and a reconditioning of the engine plus another replacement of the radiator (under warranty...go figure) was required. $1770.

Originally the second time around he said I was looking at ~$1100. That crept up by $670.

It's the main Subaru service plave. The only good thing is that they don't charge me when I bring it in for them to look at it and they wash it as well... Im clutching at straws here aren't I lol
