If old Klaus was still alive and running **** there that would not be happening,
I use to work there back in the early 90's, that place is totally different now.



PS. They charged you full list price on the wheel, some dealers work with you on the wheel price as they are ridiculous.

Do you mind posting a picture of which wheels you have on the 55? I'm just trying to get a handle on the price of the wheel.

Is this really the case? Everytime I take a car in, I am given a written estimate on the service ticket. They give me the usual, it's just an estimate so it's probably way off thing and then they call me with the final number. Unless I authorize the repairs, they don't do a thing and can only charge me a diagnostic fee. Are you saying the dealership put a new wheel/tire on without giving you an estimate and are now making you pay the bill? If so, you have options.
