Hi guys!
Thanks for all of your posts. Yes, I am a female--ha--so I am a walking target for any 'stealership' or gas station. They must think I'm really stupid. I forgot to include that I had the fuel injectors cleaned too. But still, does that really constitute such a high cost? I did contact customer service at Shell and the actual manager of the station really got upset. He's quite rude. Shell customer service called a FORD dealership to see what they would have charged for the same work and it would have been $40 dollars cheaper (whooptie-do..). Honestly, I don't know who I can trust now and I'm frightened to drive the car because of the check engine light. I do understand that the car has age, but it is driven on a daily basis. It gets an oil change and routine tune-ups, so the CEL, to me, is baffling. Also, the car passed emissions a few months ago. I'm beginning to think that if you are a single woman it is nearly impossible to be treated fairly at the dealership or gas station. I have a scan of the actual SHELL bill if there's some way to post it, please advise. Thanks again for all of your help.
Kind regards,
Paula
