Default Did the Brake and Rear View mirror TSIB

Went to the dealer and got an oil change, brake pad TSIB, rear view TSIB. They didnt have the mirror in stock but they approved the work for the vibration rear mirror and would call me when they get it. New brakes are slightly less grabby, the squealing/groaning I had before disappeared. Got er done without giving me any hassle, great service

if i have brought my car in for services (5k, 10k, and 15k so far), do they do these without asking? or do i specifically have to ask to have these done?

I personally dont like the new pads too soft. And the rearview, you will love! Did wonders for me.

You have to ask for these to be done.

The brakes TSIB reduces brake dust, but IMO it doesnt, I just did it to get free pads and my rotors turned LOL. The mirror TSIB reduces the vibration significantly.

If I were you call them first about the mirror one cause they most likely have to order it, thats what I did. When they got the new one in they called me and I scheduled an appointment then went. But its so worth it.

When you say less grabby... does that mean it still stops well?
