So how much did it cost the OP? ZERO.
So as I said about your suggestion:  |
I usually don't get angry at people being d1cks, but you're not only being a d1ck, but being illogical... and I HATE illogical arguments.
I made my suggestion because it is GUARANTEED to not cost a cent, and can be accomplished in 2 minutes. If you visit the dealership, they *could* be nice and diagnose it for free, but most WILL charge you a diagnostic fee. If the problem is then determined to be covered under warranty, they will waive the fee, and fix the issue. If it isn't a warranted repair, then you will HAVE to pay for either the repair, or the diagnosis. Either way, you have to go through a much more lengthy process.
There was nothing at all wrong with my suggestion. If anything, it would have armed him with prior knowledge of the issue before bringing it to the dealership, in case they decided to take him for a ride, which is not terribly unlikely. It also avoided the process of putting your car through the dealership, which involves checking it in, filling out paperwork, them taking it around back, diagnosing it, etc... you know the drill.
Not sure what your optional 100,000 mile warranty has to do with someone else's vehicle.
If you're going to be annoying, at least don't be an illogical idiot in the process.
