great service

So I had taken in my car for just a mount and balance. Dealer calls me up and says your front strut is leaking oil and your swaybar links are bad. So they replace both struts and swaybar links and do an alignment under warranty. Purpose of this post: How many dealers voluntarily look for problems and fix them under warrant. Also car rides much better now. less clunky.

I did this, and they said when i called them that my car doesnt have an intercooler pump, I laughed so hard and called the guy on the phone an idiot. He tried to argue with me forever.

went outside and hit the pump with a hammer because stu told me to and now it works lol
