    Absolutely. That's what we charge at firestone, if they misdiagnose it's on the house, if they don't figure it out it's on the house. Can't really lose.

    Been there, done that. Years ago. Decided I love this stuff anyway, so might as well use the money since then on tools, etc. That price you can get a decent code reader and a decent multimeter. Buy good quality brand tools, but used. Pawn shops and Craigslist are your friend.

    One thing I would get from firestone is the lifetime alignment they offer, if I was wheeling hard core again. That is something I think only they offer.
    Edit: sorry OP, back on track.
