| Message: | | My story:
I took my X5 to the "little Garage of Horrors" for a simple oil change.. which was done for $100... Some guy there told another guy that the upper control arms had shimmy and it "should be replaced". Their offer was $1000 (parts and labor) I told him that my bimmer was a Pre-Owned with 50,000 miles & under warrantee but only 500 miles put on by me. When they heard that, their mood and faces changed... It made me feel good and reminded me of one of the posts here on roadfly about the "part changing gimmick/trick and their nickle and diming customers"... Well instead of telling me to take it back to BMW and have it checked they gave me the salesman BS and chopped prices to make a deal...(think i got them down to about $750, don't remember) but that's a good thing because i ain't ever going back there...
Want to give thanks to all the honest guys here on roadfly, you saved me time, aggravation, arguments but most importantly my hard earned money...
