It went from a $25 install to a $1000 bucks. F^kin crazy... I was sheet there the rest of my budget. I called Luther since Lupient service department wouldnt answer their phone and they said it is covered under my Elite warranty................. THANK GOD! That bs paid off. Just have a $100 deductible and I will be back in business. This had to be what the vibration was that I was getting last summer that I went to get fixed when we were going to Chicago.

Budget restored
Haha, when you asked me about that being a possibility that was the only way I could think of how you would destroy those parts given they are both reputable companies....and I had no issues in my 05s with my Berks :P

Luther called me and said my mounts are fine. WTF! The guys swears him and his tech checked it out and there are no issues. I know Lance and Tevi were saying to take it to Lupient for another opinion. B.S. that I should even have to.

I have 15000 miles left on my warranty or until March 2013. So I could just wait and see what happens or wonder if I can take it to Nissan who is 30 seconds from my house. Im rolling around with no front bumper right now.. hoopty style

I never really like luther. I brought in my car for the passenger side window motor acting up. It wouldn't go up after you put it down and drive around for a while. I dropped it off and within 3 hours "we cant replicate the problem". I told them to keep trying and after 1 day I said **** it.

I paid $60 for the stupid diagnostics for the window + $39 for the oil change. Basically $100 oil change.

I know they did something to the window because it NEVER got stuck. I know they opened it because I hear a small rattle when I have my music and bass thumping.

Don't feel bad, I opted to walk around instead of taking photos of the cars cuz I assumed it wasn't going to rain. You were quite a bit closer than I was lol....I shoulda had my go pro so I coulda recorded everyone piling in like last year with the G's n Z's

My room mate Ben was up at Bloomington the other day getting his passenger side airbag recall done....they clearly lowered something onto his car as apparent by the big scrape going down the back. They made no mention of it the other day when he picked it up, and it isn't something you could do in a parking lot cuz the area was recessed from where the bumper was, so something had to get lowered onto it.....It's stuff like this that pisses me off and somedays makes me dislike my job since other people do such a bad job. Kinda like other bestbuys that do a crappy job when we are really good about helping ppl out. Gives us a bad rap!
