I suppose I could, but they have the car for the transmission and the tune-up. I don't know any good local mechanics (that I trust, anyway) and the prices always seem to come up about the same as the dealership.

At least with the dealership, they DID replace (for free) the driver seat belt when I complained that it wasn't working...and I just found out that the seat belt had been recalled a few years ago. There are a few other things that I'm going to ask about, re recalls. There were 21 with this model! Most of them had to do with outside directional lighting, it seems, but *still*!
