Oh, and by the way I told the original guy I had a 15% off coupon.
Received a smirk* - not worth the postcard it is written on.
Q. So will the diagnostics include fixing the problem?
ans: "No!"
Q. So how much more to fix the problem?
ans: "We can't tell you that until after the diagnostics."
So you want a blank check?
I walked in a huff. First and last trip there. Two gallons of gas, and three hours round-trip.
One strike and you are out ! Maybe my last Honda.

All these places have business licenses,my phantasy is that governing bodies that regulate them would send in "secret shoppers" who would document the "theft by deception " charge them criminally pull their license, one can only imagine how much money this would save the people in the community,, but the "trade " groups would have a real problem with this, so any politician who supported this kind of effort would see any campaign donation dry up and any opponent would see their donation skyrocket
