I agree 100%. I think they were trying to charge me and not do a thing!! Replies to this message: herzogtum71 (Jul 19, 2008 11:09 am)

Replying to: ticadoo (Jun 30, 2008 7:10 am) You might be giving the dealer too much credit. I had an '89 Nissan Sentra AWD Wagon, and upon the dealer's advicer took the car in to have the timing belt changed. The technician came out fairly quickly and sheepishly admitted that the car had a chain and not a belt, and that there was no recommendation to replace it.
