Me, personally never trust anyone with my Box. Especially a dealership where most of the workers could care less about you car because they don't own it. I've watched plenty of instances of where they "have fun" with peoples cars when they think others are not looking.
Here is the list of what could go wrong or not get done at one of those 10 minute oil changes.
1. They may not even change the filter
2. The gasket from the old filter could get left behind and the new filter tightened over top of it.
3. They could crossthread or strip the drainplug.
4. They also sometimes forget to put oil back in after draining.
5. They could overfill it. (I've heard stories)
6. If all that ain't bad enough you still have to worry about theft of items or damage to it while its in the building from hoses and such.
Hey everyone, I have a 2005 xA with 15 inch Elbrus I05 wheels, I'm new to lowering my car and was wondering if I could get some help. I was looking at different springs and am not sure what height would be enough. We all know the size of the wheel gap, but reading through the posts it sounds like 1.5 inches sounds pretty sufficient. Not sure if I should go 2 inches. Ride quality isn't a priority to me. Also would I need spacers to compromise for the wheel camber? Any info would be great! Thanks
