Car Woes

I ma sitting at the VW dealer waiting for for my car. It seems that there was a factory recall for two different things on my 2003 VW Jetta. One was the locking system for the front doors, the second was a break light switch. The second one was what was worrying me the most. In a nut shell my break lights do not cut off. I have to get out of my car, pop the hood and disconnect the battery cables. While I am here I am getting the temp sensor and the thermostat replaced. The are both faulty and I have been dealing with it since October.

While the first two things are under warranty the second are not. The parts price is going to be $70 while who knows on the labor. Now they are telling me I need to replace my rear breaks as well. I am going to have to hold off and let my boys in Conway do that.

Haha I just got the total bill $250. What a crock! $170 for labor, shit.

If you don't have to then don't get your service work at the dealer. Learn to do it yourself (unless you have the Pope curse!).
