RE: Dealerships and 5.0L Mustangs
But back to the topic: why would a dealership practically refuse to service my car. Does it fear that I will not be "completely satisfied" with the result and it may affect their customer satisfaction numbers? Is it because their mechanics may not be able to diagnose a problem without a machine to tell them what is failing?

I'd invest in some new O2 sensors, not too expensive and easy to change.

The folks who looked at it last (couple months ago) said "needs an air filter." Maybe it did but it needs something else.

Well, I do know that a lot of motorcycle dealers won't touch anything that is more than 10 or 15 years old. They do this because often, on older vehicles, in the process of fixing one thing, another thing fails or starts acting up. Also because they have to deal with things like broken bolts or previously butchered components. On one hand, it makes sense. On the other, it sucks.
