OK, so I am venting here. Please be patient.
My wife's '05 pilot airbag light came on, ok no biggie I am thinking, take it to autozone or one of those car places and have them hook it up to their little gizmo, get the code, google it and find a solution.... it was also time for an oil change and tire rotation as well. I was like ok, instedad of spending hours doing this I will just take it down to the local auto service place "wastlerautoservice" and get it all done at once. I told them I have the oil and filter in the car (I use Castrol Syntec 5w20 and PureOne filters)
6 six hours later the car was finally ready. When I got the bill I noticed a $135.00 fee for hooking the car up to their diagnostic machine, internet research and blah, blah, blah to get the code and Honda might actually cover it (42-11 or something, right sensor not detected). They charged me $24.00 for Penzoil10W30 oil and a filter and of course labor. I was like, ummmmm I had my own 5W20 oil and filter, why was there a charge for this? Ummmm, "let me check". Ohh they made a mistake we will credit you.. I was thinking you &$^%&$%^$ better credit me.
This is why I am now going to do all my own oil/filter changes and as much as I can do or learn how to do on my own or with a little help. I looked under the car and the Gold filter is there so at least THAT is right, but I do not know what oil is really in there. Man, that ticks me off
I still have to go to Honda to get the code checked out..again. Arghghg
