    Should I get a refund back at the car shop?

    Isn't it a coincidence that both the timing is bad and the fuel pump fails?

    Should I get a refund back at the car shop?

    How could the dealer tell if the timing was off if the car didn't even start when it got there? It has to be towed to the dealer.

    Should I get a refund back at the car shop?

    duragezic, that sucks. The thing with mine was the mechanic was the one driving the car when it broke down. This happened while I was still at the shop. I assume they didn't even test drive the car after replacing the fuel pump.

    Should I get a refund back at the car shop?

    But when they did the diagnostic, shouldn't they have found out about the other problems? It's not like the diagnostics is free. It's only free if you decide to have them fix your car. I probably wouldn't had fixed the car had I known it was giogn to cost that much.

    Should I get a refund back at the car shop?

    The dealer told me the timing was off 120 degrees, but he was unsure what caused the timing to be off. He said he would have to remove areas of the timing belt to find out exactly what was causing this timing to be off, which would cost about $230.

    Should I get a refund back at the car shop?

    I think the fuel pump was only one of the problems, but the mechanic didn't find out the other problems when they did the diagnostics.

    Should I get a refund back at the car shop?

    My 1993 Toyota Camry with 250k miles just died on me recently (it wouldn't start). I took it in to TiresPlus and after the diagnostics, the mechanic said the fuel pump needed to be replaced, so I paid the $400 to get it replaced. When I went to pick up the car today, I noticed the engine...

    Canon Rebel XSi/450D announced

    I hope the shutter noise sounds more real on the XSi. I played around with the Canon Rebel the other day and the shutter noise sounded so artificial. The sound from my 20D is just so smooth and crisp. :o

    New Charles Schwab 4.25% Interest Checking

    Agreed. I don't really care if I'm not earning any interest on my checking account; I barely have enough money in there to begin with, and I prefer being able to withdraw cash by just driving 1 mile to the bank. I have an online savings account that yields about 4.25% APY.

    Ouch! ING savings interest rate took a hit today.

    Honestly is it worth it to switch to another online savings account? Unless you have A LOT of money in your savings, that 1-2% difference will only be able to buy you a nice dinner.
