How long did they say it will take? The letter said 30 minutes but depends on how busy they are.

I got this letter in the mail yesterday as well. I'm so sick of going to the dealer but I suppose I should bring it.

My car was fine after a few miles. No, rattle or clicking.

BTW, did they take your car for test drive?
