Changed my battery today.
Forgot about the cigarette lighter trick so I had to reset the clock, radio presets, rev limit and light and the gear indicator. Why is the default for the gear indicator "off" anyway? Why would anyone not want to know what gear they're in? After I reset everything I still had the tire low pressure light on. I figured "maybe I have to drive a while and it will go off." Nope. Maybe I have to turn the car off and restart it. Nope. Maybe a tire is low. Yep All 4 tires were low. How did changing the battery decrease the pressure in all the tires? It didn't. It was a complete coincidence that the light came on after changing the battery. What happened is..... It's been about 95 degrees everyday for as long as I can remember. Today it's 70 degrees. I'll bet in a couple days when it's 95 again my tire pressures will be over 35 PSI. |

No, a private repair shop I've used for 20 years. They are *always* cheaper than the dealership.

Ah got it. I had quotes a bit less than that when I had my clutch done, but worth it if you’ve got a shop you trust and takes care of you. Great feeling having a smooth quiet clutch!
