Fortunately i was able to do my 10K service at the same visit and got a loaner car to go to work.
What???? What the heck did they do for 67 bucks? It takes about 5 minutes to plug a tire.

True, it's a rip off. I guess that's how they encourage people to pay $1k for the wheel and tire insurance. My initial motivation in going to dealer was not worrying about a local shop using the wrong jack and messing up my side skirt.
