My mechanic didn’t check the fuel pump this morning as they would have to spend more time and I was already late to work.
They confirmed the purge valve was not replaced. They confirmed they replaced my rack and pinion (steering wheel noise) with a USED rack and pinion.
They also confirmed the brake/rotor needs to be replaced because of the noise. but DMV has to determine if it’s “bad” enough to fail inspection. If it is, they will have to replace them, if not, then I have to replace them myself.
The dealership gets a bit of a comeuppance anyway.
They’re getting what they deserve. When first I brought this up to their attention, i specifically asked them for a diagnostic test. but no, they just wanted to replace this part and that part. but yeah at least they had to pay for the labor fees to the mechanic.
