From the way they run after cleaning I would have to say YES. And that is really what matters, isn't it. It would be interesting to see one openied up after the cleaning.

Your best defense against a $tealership is information. Go in knowing your car & what you need & they will generally treat you right. They love uninformed, ignorant people.
The only thing WORSE is Pep Boys. Even if you know your car & tell them exactly what you need, they still break stuff. Not just screwed up repairs or over charging, they break stuff & tell you, "I didn't notice that tie rod hanging loose when I put your car back together. You musta hit something on they way out of the parking space."
Must be that jumbly-wumbly thing happening again.

It does feel quite a bit better now... ESPECIALLY in low end power...  It would be interesting to see what berrymans really does do compared to doing it by hand... Since the car was washed the day before it snowed and its supposed to warm up tomorrow, the car hasn't been driven much after the cleaning/plug changing...

Not sure about that. When I got to the dealer saying that my car needed the Double platinum plugs, change the PCV valve and filters, they were not kind.
They gave me an estimate with the wrong parts and they told me to change my MTX oil filter!
