It's simple, actually:

- fuel "chirp": don't bother with fixing it. It's not a mechanical problem and won't affect your car in any way, and the fix isn't a fix.
- the rest of the issues: have them run a VIN and apply any TSBs that are outstanding

As for individual problems, it's simple: just tell them you have these issues, that you are aware of current fixes. If the dealer doesn't want to service them, tell them you will take your labor work somewhere else. That's all that needs to be said. None of this "worst dealer ever" stuff.

We're not driving Ferraris, we're not limited to one dealer in an area.
