Huge rip off... they probably spent $60-70 in parts and the rest was labor... and all those inspections probably took under an hour to do.

Red face A Suggestion For You!

Go back to the dealer and ask for 1/2 of your money back...call the BBB and ask them how many complaints this dealership has against them..
