Unbenownst to me, my wife and daughter took my daughter's car to the nissan stealer last week when she was home for spring break, just to get the oil changed.
The dealer inspected the vehicle and provided a write-up of recommended service. nearly a grand worth.
It included new wiper blades (I replaced them in December) a radiator flush and new coolant (they replaced the radiator last September because a rock went through it), a complete transmission flush and new fluid and filter (they replaced the transmission under warranty last July), a new battery (this one is less than a year old), new front brake pads and rotors (I replaced the pads last summer, rotors are fine) and several other things that absolutely do not need to be done and they would know that if they actually inspected the vehicle or had checked their service records.
Luckily the wife was smart enough to show me the list before authorizing the work.
I haven't quite decided how to handle this yet but you know I can't let it go.
I already canceled the credit-card charges for the oil change and inspection, do ya think should talk to the service manager weasel first, or channel 4 news first, or go right to my state representative?
