My 2000 9-3 was in for its 30,000 mile service today. Imagine my surprise to get a phone call from the dealer this afternoon saying that my front brake pads and rotors needed to be replaced :( This effectively doubled the price of the day's 'efforts' to something a little over a grand. Am I alone in thinking that having to do pads and rotors at 30k is not reasonable? The dealer tells me it's common. To cap it all, as I drove away, the check engine light came on. I went back, and the mechanic plugged in the Tech 2, and came up with something he said he'd "never seen before". So, they've got it for another day. I love this car, but shelling out this kind of money could get old..... Cheers, David ------------------------------------------------------ David Eastwood - eatswodonopsami.com
