Tell them that you want the fuel filter changed and that's it.

You don't need a garage to change a fuel filter depending on where it's located. Have spunky pick up a Chilton ot Haynes manual specific for your car at your local auto parts store or bookstore; detailed instructions and tool required will be listed inside. If you need more help, post here, we'll help you and spunky Wduaqnug :)

Well, they put in new transmission fluid for a good reason. It's not supposed to be black. It's supposed to be red. I doubt that they messed anything up.

WTF does his being Mexican have to do with anything??

The parts and labor for a new fliter will cost you a lot less than $60 regardless of where you take it.

Keep that attitude up Wduaqnug, and I don't think you or spunky will receive any more help here, at least not from me. And no, I'm not Mexican.

Statistics can be made to prove anything. 14% of people know that.
