The dealer led me to believe this was a warranted repair until I gave it the o.k. then conveniently reversed their diagnosis by saying that hoses aren't under warranty. Duh. I could've replaced the things myself for 1/4 of what they charged. NEVER go to a dealer for Non-Warranted repairs...EVER. They're criminals robbing people they put into submission, by taking their cars away for periods of time, making them feel vulnerable. Then returning w/ HEAVILY inflated estimates, playing the Trump card of "I've got you in a corner now".

The almighty HONDA dealer wanted my sister to pay over $700 to replace 1 battery cable. We sabotaged the cable, then took it in to see what they'd say. They came back to her w/ a spread sheet of over $700 in electrical and motor repairs needed. I followed up the next day w/ new cable in hand, and fixed it in less than 10 min. right there on their lot. I went in and described my actions quite loudly in the waiting room. This was NOT received very warmly.
