Call service and ask for Brian he is a younger SA that drives an IS300, he is my brother's SA and is pretty cool ask him if there is any cost associated but there might not be. I work with Michelle Jones but Brian is more laid back.

Sweet, I have no idea how far Plant City is from Hillsborough. I don't know too much places around here as yet. How much will it cost me to get it checked and possibly cleared?

usually takes me a good 45 minutes to get to PC in by the Stadium. Try Michelle Jones just tell her Robert Rios refered you if you talk to Brian tell him Daniel Rios did. Both are very nice not sure on pricing, they checked mine before and I dont remember paying but im under warranty. If AIS300C can hook ya up it might be worth the drive. I sure wish he was closer I have lifetime allignment from firestone that I can use at Tiresplus but I always wish I actually knew someone over there.

I will try to see if Michelle is in today, and see what she says. Otherwise like you say I may have to take that trip to PC if AIS300C can hook it up for me

Yeah we charge the same thing its an hour worth of diag cuz if youre not willing to pay that youre not willing to fix your car(thats what the industry says) I kno it sounds stupid but I can hook up a scanner and tell you why your airbag light is on, fixing it is where price comes into play u know what I mean? or maybe its something stupid and the light just has to be reset no idea but hell you dont want to pay 90 might be worth a trip to PC I'll check it for free.

I agree with you on that, they reason that if they tell you what is wrong and you choose not to get them fix it you still are paying for them telling you what was wrong. I will let you know when I would be available to come over to PC and you can just tell me which day/time is best for you.
