  At 14:00 in the afternoon, I am getting the phone call, that the car is fixed and ready for pickup.
  The A/C compressor had to be replaced a second time.. it seems to work now for more than 24 hours. The inner door handle had been replaced and I can lock the doors without any problem. All the studs had been replaced with black ones, and not to forget - the muffler does not make any noise.
  After driving for a week a courtesy car and almost 5 weeks of absence of my vehicle, I had to get used to it again. The brakes seemed to be a little soft, otherwise driving was ok.
   As per invoice - the following items were fixed/repaired/replaced
  • A/C Compressor (2nd time within 6 weeks)
  • Expansion Valve
  • Left Headlight Bulb (no charge!!)
  • Catalytic Converter
  • Alternator
  • 20 Wheel Bolts (after 2 years, 10 months and 2 weeks!!)
  • Drivers side Inner Door Handle (one bolt was in the door storage making some noise rolling back and forth)

All this was required 7 days after I spend $960.00 for service and all of it was under warranty. Items which were not repaired:

  • Rattling in the sun roof
  • Ash Tray
  • Paint - would require stripping and re-painting
