Fir anyone who cares, I just picked my car up. They did the ignition switch, didn't charge me for diagnosing (or rather confirming) the head light assembly issue, replaced the RMS and fixed a leaking IMS (both for the second time), and replaced the clutch. Total bill $785.

I have a couple questions. I know RMS leaks tend to recur, bit thought the IMS fix was supposed to be once and done. Has anyone else had this happen more than one time? Next my new clutch has a much lighter pedal feel. Is that normal? I mean it feels Japanese light. I'm not sure I like it, or maybe it's a matter of getting use to it.

All in all I'm happy with the dealer, but dissapointed in PCNA over the headlight issue. I will be able to find one used on ebay for $500-700 probably, but it still seems to me something like that should be covered.

$785, that is not bad at all! The new clutch should feel "light." That is perfectly normal. As they get worn, they start feeling heavy or stiff.

Tim, thanks. I've never replaced a clutch in my life before so I didn't know that. The bill for the clutch wasn't bad, I have no complaints about that.

Wow, that was a good price. Bet the labor was covered with the RMS. (My clutch went out yesterday, replacement cost about $1650)

I think the CPO covered labor for the IMS and RMS was $1,250. There was no labor charge for the clutch since they had to put it back in there when finishing the RMS work.
