He said it was where the carburator used to be. I remember that.
This is what the thing says
'Performed TBDY and MAF Service. 88.
Replaced plug #4 .
This damn thing doesn't make any sense. It is pure labor, the cost for parts is 8.51. Bill is 185.17.
Hubster said they called it 'Carbon build up on the air intake'. Doesn't say shiet about that on this paper. They also charged us for the deductable when they said they wouldn't, waiting for a response on that. I was at work, lucky for them {and me, cause jail would not do well for me
}
So, on top of that, they tell me my car is ready yesterday. I was so pissed I said I'd pick it up today {let the hubster go with me, I ended up having to work}. He goes, pays the inflated amount and then gets into the car and the f'in light is still on. So he has to take it back and get another rental.
I called and asked the service person, I told him I know he doesn't do the repairs but how can the mechanics bring the car up when the light is still on? How can they say the work is done???
I seriously wish I had taken the car elsewhere. I just didn't want to drive it in its' condition. But, look, after the major service, in just over 300 miles, it was back in the shop with the light on. So, how did they say it was fine? Then, they said it was fine and not even driven out of the parking lot and the light is back on.
I have so many issues, I don't know who to call first.
DPR~ that is why I won't drive it. With the problems it had, I know that if I drive it, that could happen. Right?
blueerica~ that sounds like the cars we had prior to this. We thought we'd have many many years without any of that crap. We bought our son a '99 Ranger. It is beat up looking but runs well. They gave us a list of $750 worth of things to fix, we told them to just change the oil.
One thing wrong with it, the indicator is off. {the drive, park, etc. indicator}. They wanted $175 to fix it. I did see on line that you can fix it at home, I just want to make sure to do it right.
