$199 to read the code!!! I'd NEVER go there again... reading a code takes 10 min... a reputable garage will take no money if your doing other work... and they charged you a lot for the MAF and HORN as well... I'd shop around for a new repair shop if I were you.... crooks!

Yeah... I know. It's a lot. But what can I say? Greenwich ain't known for bargains and the work seems fine. Not gonna sweat the $$. That was the whole point of the post.

Rob - if you light up a cigar right after "shooting the piston" and then drop the match on the ground, you can burn up your car and get both of Bob’s major catastrophes accomplished simultaneously!

Of all the things in life that I may try to accomplish, I would like to leave that honor all to Bob.
