I paid these guys a lot of money to fix my car, then went on my merry way. But they told me that the "Service Engine Soon" light might come on, and to just take it up if it does and they'd fix it free of charge.

Well, it happened.

So I took it back, and they found out that the light was coming on for "a different reason than they though," so they had to fix another "big problem"...ended up costing almost the same amount of money.

Altogether it's been almost $600.

And now...the "Service Engine Soon" light CAME BACK ON as I was driving home last night!!!

AAAARRRRRGHHHHH!!!

Time to find a new mechanic.

If you don't mind telling me::

What is the problem with your car,
and what make/model/year car is it

(This may help me to possibly help you figure out your problem. I think we here saved another member about $800 or so last year, or early this year(She needed brakes and a steering rack.and they wanted $1800--I think she got a MUCH better deal.....after I and some others showed her PROOF of what that should cost.)

When I owned a new beetle (2000) they had a recall on the fuse that would make the 'check engine' light come on. Before I got the recall notice, my check engine light came on all the freaking time. Everytime I saw it go on, I'd have a heart-attack.
