Def, get a new shop. They seem to be trying to hose you for all you got. Shops like that are the reason most folks that can, do work on their own rides.Originally Posted by chrispin

Billy Ray: WoooHooo! Got codes! PossumOpossum Three-Fiver-One and Three-Fiver-Fiver! That adds up to $706.00 just in “code charges!” Run that sucker again and see if we can’t get us another code payday.
Later, with unsuspecting customer,
Billy Ray: Sorry man, looks like we got trouble. Yer Hoobglometer AND yer Obfuscator are throwing off bad codes. We recommend new tires and an engine swap. We’ll thow in a curb feeler upgrade, no charge! Ain’t that right, Billy Wayne?
Billy Wayne: AMEN, bro
Oops, sorry everyone. I think I uploaded a role-playing exercise from my employee handbook.
Seriously, get a second and third opinion. Sift through and trust the wealth of knowledge on this site, which alone has saved me many times. For example, when you pull into the ISUZU dealership and both sales and service staff guess that your VX is either a new Hyundai or next year’s Rodeo/Amigo, LEAVE! (happened to me)
I have been told to never carry my car keys on a heavily loaded key ring. When you put a lot of weight on the key, it can wear irregularly causing what you describe. My money is on the ignition switch. Was the former owner a Janitor, teenage girl, or Prison Guard? Inquiring minds…

Hey Bandit,
Isn't the "Road to Hana" supposed to be "THE" road to run while in Hawaii? We blazed through it on our honeymoon in 1989 -- fantastic ride. Hope we can get back to the islands someday.
