It gets better.
Than he calles me back and tells me Ill have to pay for an oil change b/c one of his guys had alredy drained the oil thinking I would have them do the B maintnance.
O and the guy that does his inspections wants to charge me to bring the car back to be shure the new rotors are to spec.
BS!
If you're not taking it back to them then why pay -- or you could pay them the feed for the inspection and the oil change (as long as they did it right -- OR NOT, if you didn't ask for it) and be done with them. Then take it to another facility to get the inspection sticker.
