Hey all, looking for a little advice...
EDIT: 2009 Outback, standard, non-turbo, 4-cyl. Took the Suby in for an air bag recall. Asked them to change the timing belt since it's at 120k. They just called back with a whole laundry list of other stuff: control rod bushings, rear brakes ($240 for a job that takes me 30 minutes), new tires, leaky head gasket. They want $1400 for that last, and and they're saying it's easier to do when they're in there for the timing belt- although they didn't offer any price break. Told them no on everything. Should I let them do the hg? Inherent distrust of dealers makes me a little biased... |
