This is a dicey situation- as you can see.

Do you have a relationship with the people doing the work such that you can say "I need the warranty to cover this- if you guys go to bat for me I'll take care of you"? "You dont need to lie, but you know how warranty people can be"...that sort of thing.

Ethically this is all a bit of a tightrope, each of us needs to figure out how comfortable we are with a particular path.

PS There is a great video/story of someone brining in a video camera that 'just stopped working, no idea why''. The store got it open, played the tape: you see a kids birthday party, the camera is moving around, people, kids, swimming pool- then all of a sudden someone yells 'woah', camera pans up, and next think the water in the swimming pool closes over the lens....

Thanks for the tips, and advice, I been taking my car bmw there for years, from my x5 2001 to this 2009, but is BMW of Manhattan, and to be honest I never gotten a break. I hope they don't give me a hard time.

Thanks Ard
