I bet that it happens in many other places too. That's why is always better to work on your own car

With my last car ('98 Oldsmobile Intrigue), I took it to TiresPlus to do a checkup. At the time, I had no clue about cars...so I got yanked around by dealers. The bill ended up being $1300. I don't remember the exact work that was done, but it was refilling all the fluids and doing something with the AC and radiator. A few weeks later, my overheating light on my dash would come on sparatically. Well, I went to the same TiresPlus because my car smelled like there was no collant left in the hoses... What do you know. Dry! I didn't have time for them to refill it, as I had to drive back to Orlando (I was in Clearwater at the time), so they filled it with water. Within a week or so, it blew.
On Christmas Eve, driving from Orlando Clearwater to be with my family, my car died. The collant hoses blew. $400 and a week later, I got my car back. A week later, I got my G. Thanks TiresPlus.
