Message	Thats a rip off. They were supose to do the work yesterday for the price they quoted but called back and said $1600 for the work or $95 to get the car back. Sorry but they did no work except for re-write the original estimate. I paid $600 to have the same work done on my DSM at another dealer. That was everything listed they were going to do to her car. : :You don't expect a shop to spend an hour of their time, figuring out what's wrong with your car, so you can get it out of there and do the work yourself, without paying them for their time, do you? :$95 is reasonable. :Oh, it wasn't 1600 for a timing belt...that was the belt, water pump, AXLES, etc. :
