Is the customer a regular customer?

What kind of services do you perform at your shop?

Did the customer call you before having it towed to the dealer?

Did the customer call you before having the dealer do the work?

Have you spoke with the dealer about this issue either prior to or after the service was performed by the dealer?

I would like to hear the answers to these questions before I give an opinion.

I would like to have the dealer techs explain to me how a loose air filter could foul the fuel injectors. We see very few injector issues with all the ethanol in the fuel these days (tends to keep things clean!) I would also insist on knowing the REAL reason the car would not start. (Unlikely ALL the injectors failed at once)

I would like some answers to the questions I asked…

Now for this post… Why would it have to be a dealer tech? I am an Indy, would that be ok?
