Yeah, you've been had.
headlight fix - $32
>>okay, whatever.
"performance" oil change - $164 - this sounds extremely high to me and i plan to go back to them about it
>>The MOST expensive synthetic oil change I have EVER seen was $80 on one of these cars.
power flush cooling system - $159
>>On the very high end of reasonable.
flush power steering system - $183
>>Eh. Not sure how they power-flushed it. As far as I know you have to siphon it out of the reservoir, re-fill it, drive a bit, and repeat a few times. If they did all that MAYBE worth $183.
fuel induction service - $200
>>This is bullsh*t. Ask them what this included and watch them squirm.
replace air filter, fuel filter, cabin air filter - $301
>>About reasonable I suppose.
brake pads, mic rotors replace - $517
>>Reasonable.
replace engine spark plugs - $178
>>WHAAT!!??!?!? Find out what plugs they used. They should have put NGK plugs in there at around $11/per. That's $44 plus about 10 minutes of labor.
replace hood struts - $92
>>I call BS. I've yet to see a 9-5 with bad hood shocks.
replace battery (under warranty) - $40 - this they didn't tell me about until I picked up - something about how it wasn't holding a charge when they had to do certain tests; it wasn't that much so i said ok
