Holy moly, that could've ended VERY badly.

Their way of making it right was fixing it. I think a free oil change next go around or maybe a half off would have been more appropriate.
So I called them about a loud screeching sound from under the hood recently, thought it was a belt, turns out the PCV diagram goes bad on these models all the time, so instead of bringing it to that same shop I fixed it myself for half the cost. That felt good.

Yup, I know ppl in business are always thinking about $$$$ but there comes a time when just making it square is not good enough, the inconvenience of you coming back, time and a bit of expense wasted, stress, etc. A little *something* extra is good, heck, even a free jacket/bag, something!
