I really need more info on this.

Why did you take it there if the first place, just for an oil change or other problems, etc.?

What are they exactly doing regarding a tune up?

Air induction service are to help remove carbon build up from the throttle plates and intake valves, and I would recommend that, we Charge $65.00

A transmission service is like a oil change , but for the transmission. The fluid is changed and the filter is changed. This is also a good idea.That price may not be out of line.

I need more onfo about the evaporator harness.


IF you would like a referral to an independent shop, I can do a little research. Just need to know the city your in.
