i totally agree with this, as i am a mechanic that works in a small workshop, Ive had to deal with alot of customers that get ripped off n taken for a ride by these dealers n most of the time its not the mecanhics choice at the dealership to do the half ass work it as it would be the workshop superviser who make's these choice's not the person doing the work.
As for killing my forester, yes the engine has died (142km) n the auto died at (137km).
everything appeared to be fine with the car when it was brought, even had another mehanic check it out to.
Now i have pulled it apart n all the covers off, all i can say is i hope some one who's not in the trade doesnt get what i got, whole bunch of hidden problems =[
o and the cars dead standard as i have a 5l efi vk commo for my fun ;)
