Thanks Kendall -

Very strange that he would have checked my coverage and specifically stated that the CV boot and Power Steering were covered. In fact when I said, "Wow, glad that at least the CV boot is covered since that is $1,000" he said, "yeah, that's pretty big."

I have a call into the service manager that I have a longer relationship with (the SA I had never dealt with) and she tried calling me back 4 times when I was away from my desk, so it will be interesting to see what she says.

The indie shop said the CV boot was like a $300-400 job, certainly not a $1,000 unless they were doing a whole lot more work.

I baby this car, always have, so I'm a bit shocked at most of this. Sure the brakes wear out, I understand that - but all the other stuff there really hasn't seemed to be a reason it's all happening all of a sudden.

It will be interesting to see what the indie shop say's on Tuesday.
