Message Basically they insulted my car. At least thats how I feel. They believe I can get it fixed for about 1500 dollars this seems a bit off to me.
They issued a check and agreed to pay up to 55 dollars an hr for service rates but I still don't feel as though this is adequate. I'm not trying to get a free TT out of this.

Do you believe this to be fair. If not what actions can I take?

The Z32 is one of the serious Japanese performance cars that is revered by owners of four-cylinder front-drivers, and one way that opinions on cars will always fall is that looking "cool" is nowhere near as good as looking -niiiccceee-. Kels300Z 00:08:35 11/16/04
