Default Dealership...stealership...

My passenger side control arm bushing ripped and the dealer wants $600, just for the part. Yet I saw on www.ecstuning.com the complete OEM control arm with bushing for $85...
There was a weird rattle in the passnger side while driving in 1st gear...I asked the service guy what was wrong, " yeah your 1st gear is broken"...so whats wrong with it..."its broken" so..."its broken". So whats the rattle I hear..."wow there more then one rattle in this car, your exhaust rattles a lot" ( my exhaust is brand new, the day before I had it on a lift, its snug up there, theres no movement.) Everytime I have a weird rattle they blame it on my exhaust. If I feel vibrations on my foot, its the exhaust. If i gears a grinding noise, guess what it's the exhaust.

Ive found that the only decent people there are the nice receptionist ladies who take the money, or one or two of the service parts dept. guys.
