honestly, I've given every gas station a try. I'm currently on Chevron but neither have helped get rid of the chirps. I did Shell at first, the Chevron, the Mobil, then back to Chevron. 76 here and there but that hasn't helped me. Although, when I went to Chevron they did noticeable get quieter but that didn't last too long.. Could of just been a coincidence

If you have free time try this place.

Mobil

They don't give me chirps. I just wanna get the thing fixed so im not limited to their only. Its either this place or a Chevron in Pasadena from my experience.

If I had to drive to El Monte to fill gas every time I'd be broke lol. If I'm around the area I'll give it a go..

Thanks

Longo is great but they don't have enough service people on site. I had an appointment but still waited around 2 hours for just standard maintenance. I brought up checking the chirps with them they said they wouldn't be able to look at it until 7pm (it was 10:45) and even then that's just looking at it they'd still have to test it which could take a day or two.
I think I'm going to try my luck with puente hills where I bought the car from. There's usually no one there.

Yea i think most of them are spitting stuff out the rum. Told me they would have to leave it there for a day to inspect it, but the guy that fixes it wont be here until tomorrow.

Another random thing, when i went there two months back to get my door light fixed they were going to shuttle me home. They wait shouldn't take more than 15 mins. An hour later after i complained to them the shuttle guy calls me and tells me he's in front of my house... They had the female guest service shuttle me home...

My service adviser was super cool about it showed me they actually had all the bays booked for warranty work until that time because I looked at him super weird.

His name was Anthony Lopez. He helped me with questions in regards to modding with warranty.

He said as long as he can't prove that I caused the issue purposely he'll cover it.

But yeah most of them pull shit out of no where.

I think I have the latest pump (got it replaced Jan 2014) but never had a reflash for the idle dip. Do you think I need to get the reflash if I purchased my car end of Dec 2012? I have aftermarket intake and tune so I never really knew if my stock tune has a dip or not, and on that note if I'm tuned with OFT would it even make a difference?

Chirps are a mild issue but only comes up every now and then.

Couldn't tell you with looking at the calibration but yes most likely
