Are you crazy?! Unless your car is certified or under warranty the dealer is going to charge you an arm and a leg...I had a stupid battery replaced in my car at the dealer...it was $250.00! I thought it was the alternator, and my car was under warranty then, but it wasn't so the dealer just replaced the battery without asking me, and then slapped me with a bill! Oh yah the battery isn't covered under the certified warranty. Find yourself a good local mechanic that only works on imports...make sure their shop is clean and they can speak decent english so you can convey your problems...I used to live in Fremont , CA about half an hour from San Fran. I used to take my car to 2 guys named Mike and Devon. They are in Fremont right off the main blvd, can't remember the street name. I think their company name was Auto Import Specialist.... Give it a shot. __________________ DannyBoy 1997 318tiA Sport, 99,500 miles, All original except for APC Super White Bulbs. |
