i think i figured out who report my posts.

they are those with no sense of humor and have self esteem issues. taking a 3rd person exaggeration post personally as if directed at them.

Some people must really like your posts. Obviously they know you are collecting positive feedback

how can you tell the dealer performed the work after the work order?

That's the million dollar question(s)........I was going to ask Dallas and Houston people if they had a trustworthy dealership I could visit.

Nope, nothing is for free. I have not.

If you have to mark the plugs to determine whether your dealer is actually doing the work, that's horrible. I mean, I am worried about them screwing something up while doing the work. I guess on the bright side, they can't screw anything up if they don't work on the car

I should find a dealer like this and then take it to them after doing any normal maintenance. Then I can have them record all my maintenance history. I wouldn't pay them though

yah, i dont trust the dealer and hate their shoddy work. unless its something i just dont have time or tools to do it (which is rare), i never bring my cars in for service. my G has not seen the dealer for 9yrs.

I LOVE MY 19 BUT THE TRUE ITS THAT HERE IN PR TO FIND THOSE TIRES ARE A PITA

18'S TIRES ARE MORE EASY TO FIND TIRES... I THINK TIRE RACK SEND TO PR BUT DONT KNOW IF THE SHIPPING WILL BE KILLER LIKE THE MAYOR OF PARTS THAT I WANT TO BUY FOR THE Z LOOOL FROM USA!!!

DAMN I THINK I DONT HAVE OTHER CHOICE....

you sound ANGRY! not sure how many miles you put on your car each year, but i can usually go 2 seasons without a tire swap. i'd pay the extra fee for the 19's look and feel.

Are you having trouble with RR? I think you're going to have problems at any dealership. Weird intermittent issues are difficult to diagnose without some serious effort, which isn't something dealerships are generally known for.

I go through rears about every 9 months

19's FTW... even if you have to pay a little extra for shipping
