You need this work or you are going to break down soon.
It will cost far less to fix this now than later. |
Please prioritize your list. What work will fix the
issue I brought the car in for?
What other needed work will cause me to break down, if I don’t do
it. |
Issues that can cause you to break down:
Tire with steel showing, bad hoses or belts,
any fluid leak, fuel leak, very loose suspension
parts, CV joints.
Issues that can wait:
Shocks, struts, small liquid leaks, AC work, fluid changes, filter
changes, |
Important |
This maintenance is normally called for in your
owners manual and is symptom driven. |
Please focus on the items I brought the car in for.
Tell me what symptoms I recognize, you will fix with your suggested
work. |
Your power steering fluid is gray and dirty.
It should be red and clear.
Your brake fluid has 5% water,
it should be under 3%.
Your throttle blades are very dirty and your ISC counts are 28 and they
should be 15-20. |
Fluff
(Also called
a wallet flush) |
Any work that has the words "flush" or
"clean" with no related or obvious symptoms. |
Please note each of these items on my repair order,
along with the prices and then sign your name. |
Decarbonize your engine, flush your engine, flush your
injectors, all for no reason or to add chemicals to your engine, the
transmission or fuel tank because it’s a "good idea." |
