T-Man Posted 20July, 2012 Report Share Posted 20July, 2012 I agree James. It's a good idea to ring the shop. I really want to know how much transmission fluid you get for a "top up" of $50! You guys may find this interesting. I read it last night on another forum and thought it may be relevant to this situation. "The mega computer broke and brought the company down. All kinds of technicians came and could not fix it. Out of desperation they called a technician that an employee of the company recommended, a single man operation person. The technician showed up took a look a computer, reached out to his tool box and pulled a screw driver. He removed a panel, reached into the computer and tightened a screw. He said try it now. The computer fired up and started humming. The company owner came and congratulated the technician for saving the day. He then asked for the bill. The technician said it will be $1000. The owner replied $1000 for five minutes of wok? Please give me an itemized bill so that I can see what cost so much. No problem answered the technician. Next day the itemized bill arrived. One Man Shop. Inc Itemized Bill: Tightening of the screw ---------- $10 Knowing which screw to tighten -- $990 Thank you for your business The moral of the story is that they can probably do it in four hours but they are going to charge you four hours worth plus the knowledge of knowing which screw to tighten."

T-Man Posted 20July, 2012 Report Share Posted 20July, 2012 JJ. Must have posted at the same time and missed your last post. I understand why you are not really happy with the outcome. You need to talk to these guys and make certain they address the issues. There are plenty of shops out there specialising in these cars. Maybe time to find a new one.

Guest vas930 Posted 20July, 2012 Report Share Posted 20July, 2012 Ok, now we see the full story. JJ, you have every right to be angry. Thats not fair. The only one you may want to check again is the oil level. Make sure the car is hot, not warm. Let that thing get hot before you check, thats how it should be done. Good luck with it.
