they're telling me i need a transmission flush, $139.95 and a brake fluid flush, $84.95.

WTF? is it a worthwhile thing or a BS money making thing?

it's for 70,000 miles.

OH and they have a *SPECIAL* :rolleyes:

the battery checkup, normally $39.95 will be deducted from the above if my battery is fine :shrug: or free battery checkup if it's not fine.

the fcukin battery is under my back seat so I KNOW there's no corrosion or anything like that. my car starts immediately. all i have to do is look at the ignition and she starts right up. no battery problems here, guaranteed.

That would be a blown head gasket. I sure sign of that is steam coming out of the exhaust. Not cheap to fix on the new cars.

I let the dealer find out whats wrong with it........then i go down the road and i'll have it done by another mechanic for 30% less of their cost......

I'll save a couple hundred and he'll get a cheap thrill when i give him a good game on his ass......

I'll never let the dealer work on my car after they said I mine as well get a new one (just barely past 100,000)....when they sold me the piece of shit

Jack, Jack, Jack......if you're not having problems there is nothing to fix!

Battery check for $39.95 that's more than half for a new battery and you're not having problems! Most auto parts stores will do it for free. Actually that's a ripoff.

Brake fluid flush if the fluid is brown or black that indicates something breaking down in the system. You can check the fluid yourself or have them show you the discoloring.

Transmission should be done every 35,000 - 40,000 miles but not many people do it.

okay, i'll look at the BF and let them do the transmission.

they can forgot even bothering looking at the battery. those things don't go bad under the back seat, do they?
