They told me I needed transfer case seals and I got a second opinion......they were not needed. They only "weeped" a few drops after towing my boat but were full and in perfect shape.
I don't mean to imply that they are dishonest. They are just trying to solicit work for the dealership and are charging top dollar.
I'm just going to get a second opinion any time I need work.

When we first had the problem we were not sure what the problem was and since the car was still under warranty and needed to be towed the thought was it was a warranty issue. After the dealer took the computer reading that is when we found out it was the gas and not covered under the warranty
The hope is that the gas station owner will be a stand-up guy and pay for the repairs. If not then i will need to tak it to the next level.
