Car drives great. I've had the car for 3 years and had changed the oil myself but otherwise no other service the last 40,000 miles.

This was a good reset for me and plan to do all the work myself from now on. $4k is a pretty steep service charge.

I hope they refilled your gas tank with that $101 labor charge.

Car pulled a little to the left and a mild high speed shimmy in the steering wheel. All I saw was the the $101 labor charge and $325 wheel alignment and the car now drives great at high speed now.

Glad he drove it and figured it out himself without having me explaining it to them.

I am more ticked off about $50 in shop towels. Really?!
