Randall & David,

Interesting. observations. I guess each store has it's own way of doing 
business. I generally know when there is a problem with my vehicles. I 
do my own maintenance, including lube and oil changes. Whenever I am 
working on them I am always on the lookout for anything out of the 
ordinary.

I don't mind having a shop look at things other than what I bring a 
vehicle in for, but really won't put up with a shop try to scare its 
customers into having work done that is not needed.

Thanks for your perspectives.

Peace,
Pat
