They can void your warranty for whatever they want. That act is only useful in a courtroom IMO. You can tell the idiots at the service desk all about the act, they will look at you like you have two heads and a dick for a nose and go “Manguson what? What’s that? We never heard of that.” Front tires showing wear? They simply claim abuse, and your warranty is void. They can void your “warranty” for anything they want. ---

Take it somewhere so you can at least figure out what the problem is, since you obviously can’t seem to figure it out on your own. Either that or tick it on over to my work and make me a ham and cheese sandwich with mayo on white bread. I’m very hungry. ---

Synapse is probably going to be just as much as a dealer pricewise. The quality of work, however, is significantly higher. I’d trust them with my car over a dealer any day of the week. ---
