YEEEF! $250 for that little bit! I'd say that's $50 Max in parts, no? And
pretty simple stuff to do-it-yourself. I guess I must be missing something
here but I'd save the $200 bones and spend some quality time with my Kota. :-)

I just got off the phone with my service advisor (I'v been talking with
him way too much lately!!) and he informed me that my truck needs a
tune-up. (23,000 miles) I would have expected at least 30, 000 miles
before needing a tune up and with all the other vehicles on the market
promoting " no tune-up for 100.000 miles" (like ford rangers), I am
dissappointed.

He quoted me a price of $250 to do the folowing work (I can't recall
everything he said, but here is most of it):
Replace plugs, cap rotor, replace gasket on throttle body, clean
throttle body.

Come-on $250 for a tune-up and a few replacement parts, does this sound
stupid to any one else??!!
