So I got my car back yesterday.

$1109.71.------I had $1090. Fortunately the guys were really cool, and I'll take them a $20 on Thursday.

Their original estimate of $850 was off by like $40. Then while it was in I had them change the oil and air filter. I shouldn't have had them do the oil. $90! That was a little much. I mean yeah, it's expensive, but that was crazy. When I change it myself it's about $50 (6.3 quarts synthetic) but that was like the price of 2 oil changes!

Then the air filter... that was $60. Now you may be saying that I got ripped off there as well, and I probably did... but it is a cool foam filter! No more filters for me! Just wash and replace.

But the timing belt, water pump, thermostat, and all the rollers & pulleys should be good for another 100K miles! :D And I found out that the oil by my spark plugs is pretty normal, and nothing to get too concerned about.

(BTW the person in the cube across from me just had the coolest ring tone go off. The Bond Theme! dun-da-da-da-daa-dun-dun-dun-dun-da-da-da-daa :D. Too bad that doesn't really fit for anyone on my phone, except myself.)
