GET IN CONTACT WITH A FEW SPONSORS..here or BF. You will be able to beat MSRP for sure on a PowerTrain Plus plan.

Unfortunately many, many dealers will NOT do anything to a car that doesn't have a (1) Symptom or, (2) CBS Indicator.... all will depend on the relationship with your SA over the years.

Usually I will inspect the car closely and put toether a punch list of any anomaly. "Weeping seal at XYZ" or "Radio presets whatever" or "rear hatch jerks when opening"...etc. I compose the text exactly as I want it listed in the Work Order. Even if they don't fix it, the WO creates an 'anchor' in time/mileage so that if it comes up later, I can argue the point. (If they tell you 'weeping is normal', insist that text be placed in their written response.)

I got my 2004, 2008 and 2012 from the same dealer. I'm okay with the owner manager, and service adviser but the guy selling the extended warranty is a different animal.

I thought I kept all my service invoices together and will work to make that complete. I do have a written list and various photos and videos with dates but I want to make sure I get full advantage of the last regular service.
