Its a business of repairing factory vehicles, if something happens to anything they are liable for it. They'll cover it if a tech breaks it or theres a TSB for it, but anything else they really don't give a crap lol Seriously, your trans axle is low- sure, they'll top it off for you.. same for power steering if its screetching, but say your belt is showing wear and needs replacement, they may not even say anything. They may "recommend" a new belt or they not even look at it (supercharger). Oh, and be certain your car will be road tested.. hard

Exactly, we installed a Procharger on a customers car a few months back.. it didn't run right and no techs in the place could figure it out. Sure, it may run, lean, rich etc. but no one could actually go in a mess with the tune... kinda suprised me with all the techie tools they got here lulz
