car service question

Good on that, dan. Yes, big, I listen to "Wait, Wait, Don't Tell Me," which follows "Car Talk" at 11:00. Usually pretty funny stuff.

the service manager told tony that he felt the stuff they did on trips one and two were unnecessary. that he put a different mechanic on it on the most recent visit, and that he feels he got the canister correct, but...

so, there will be discussion about making things right on that bill when all is said and done. we haven't paid another penny since the first visit.

right...so, they fetched the car. tony had told them about our battery terminal concerns, that corrosion probably was causing an issue.

well, guess what. they took it to shop, cleaned up terminals to get proper connection and hooked up the computer...

catalytic converter. explains, rough idle, stall, all of it. if they've got correct info this time...its covered under warranty.
so, a fixed car, and a refund for unnecessary repair ought to make everything ok.

based on conversations with both the service guy and the service manager, yeah, there will be a refund.

I have a '96 Explorer. In '98, I gave someone a jump and the light came on soon afterward.

The car ran fine, so I did the black electrical tape fix and it's been that way since. Have had other work done on it(brakes, hoses, belts etc.) and my mechanic never mentioned it.

I had some stalling and rough ride after an oil change, and I opened the hood and the oil guy checked the air filter and didn't seat the housing back properly so I reset it and no problems. Now I tell them not to check the air filter.
