Re:Loss of power 2 Years, 5 Months ago  
It's cheaper to buy the tools and do it yourself. The tech articles on the roadstarclinic are far more valuable than the dealers opinion. As a flat rate auto mechanic, I see this situation all the time. Example: A person brings there car in and tells the writer "My brakes make a noise when backing out of the garage in the morning". Then the service writer writes up a repair order that says, "check brakes". (useless huh?). Then, the customer signs the work order allowing the dealer to work on the vehicle. (If you stop there and make sure the repair order is written up correctly, the tech may actually know what your "actual" concern is). Now, the tech drives the car around the block, reports no problems found and moves on to the next repair order. Look at your previous repair receipts and see if that has occured to you. I bet it has. It happens with at least 50% of repair orders. The ones that do get serviced correctly are faults that occur all the time, in situations like this. Do your own due diligence and don't sign the repair order until your "actual" complaint is written on it. And berate the service writer for doing a piss poor job of addressing your (the customer...the guy that signs his paycheck) needs and concerns. Just some advise. It works with motorcycles as well as cars.
