Hello,
LTZ 2.4 i4 2014 - KSA
I have taken my car to ACDelco recently for a complete checkup. All they did was a computer scan and poke it twice with a pipe below (I swear I am not exaggerating). They claim that that was all needed and my car needed no refills/repairs/replacements what-so-ever.
I then pointed out some things, including the sprak plugs and indeed they were used and starting to rust a bit. (I mean, seriously if I was not standing there would they have done anything at all?)
So I replaced them and they said I needed to clean the throttle because it had 100% carbon, which cost me $160 claiming my car should no longer vibrate, accelerate better and use fuel more economecly. NOTHING HAPPENED of course. Oh, it did change; it now ... what is the word? It will need a push on the gas before I move whenever I start it.
But, now three weeks later, I felt something odd. I knew it was not the worn street, I always drive on it. It felt like a loose belt, or a fan that is not staying in place. I thought I heard it, but I actually felt it and it was obvious. Otherwise, it drove normally but I just know that what I felt was abnormal.
Now ACDelco are official people here in KSA and if they suck this bad, I am afraid to take my car to a local workshop without knowing possibilities so I do not get scammed.
Sorry this was long.
