Some of their recommendations may be ok, but mostly it's a way to make money. I'd trust the maintenance minder before I'd trust a service writer on commission. |

Replying to: steve_ (Nov 25, 2008 10:50 pm) My main problem I guess here is that I would trust the maintenance minder, but I heard stories that if you change the oil earlier than the minder tells you, and have it reset, that it throws all the other milestones out of whack, so it may tell me to change my rear differential later than I actually should. |

Replying to: Whistler1211 (Nov 26, 2008 5:46 am) 4% is a significant number of cars, but that still means that most of them are trouble-free. The actual number is probably a fraction of a percent. You have to go with your gut and it's cheap insurance to change the fluid if it helps you sleep at night. I'm happy relying on the car engineers and what's in the owner's manual. Or even a reminder light. Any chance you can talk your mechanic into relocating to my neighborhood?

Replying to: joekinso (Nov 22, 2008 3:53 am) I also noticed if I push in the switch (to simulate door closed) the switch stayed in - did not come back out as would expect if the door was opened. So it appears that maybe it is corroded or stuck. Will probably just replace. Have not taken it out yet - is is just unsrew the screw - pull the switch out carefully and and disconnect?

Went to the dealer today and bought two new dome switches and changed them. Elapsed time 5 minutes each side (while drinking coffee). Total cost 8 bucks for both switches. Works like a charm (chime). Thanks Joekinso - saved me at least 100 bucks. Funny thing I would never have thought that the dome switches had anything to do with the headlight and key chimes. That is why I did not look at the door switches until Joe said to thanks |
