[QUOTE="scooby0048, post: 4634899, member: 50693"] Probably don't even sell tools in Jersey, too afraid you guys will friend* something up. I'm familiar with the Magnusson-Moss Act. I had to use that one time to convince dad that getting his local Pep Boys to do a $250 O2 sensor replacement was just as good and valid, as the $885 O2 replacement from the dealer. For the convenience and price and the included tire rotation, I would be crazy NOT to take it to the dealer...at least while it is under warranty. After the warranty I would certainly mess with it. I can already see having to go to the dealer for some things with all the electronics on it and the additional batteries needed for the autostart / on off feature. Yeah I'm not talking about taking it to Jiffy Lube or Grease Monkey. I wouldn't let those punks work on a lawnmower. I'm talking about factory trained service techs at the dealers. That's a whole other Seinfeld-like discussion dad and I have had. He will got to those places when he can't get over to the dealer and he makes sure that he goes to get it done as soon as the ODO hits 3k. He freaks if he gets close to 3100 miles. I asked him once how he feels relying on a 16 yo minimum wage making punk to keep his $50k car running like new. He responded that they are trained extensively. I almost pissed myself and I couldn't stop laughing because in that same conversation he told me the kid couldn't find the cabin air filter location that they upsold him. [/QUOTE]
