Went in for 50k service....ugh

[coowhip]

So i dropped the car off this morning for the 50k service and had a few other things I wanted checked while it was there. Tie rods, CV joints, ect...Well all that checking was going to cost be $200 but if items were covered under warranty they wouldn't obviously charge me to look at it!! On top of the $175 for the service, is this normal? Should I just go to an independant place to have this stuff checked, I still have an extended warranty until August on the car.

Also, unrelated Q. Does the Test pipe throw any engine codes? I believe I have the GIAC chip program in my car.

Get the bently manual and look at the 50K service its oil and checking fluids and such, plus if you want to check your TRE look at them if you can see tears or they are covered in fluid they need to be looked at.

If you have the warranty, why are you paying for all this?
My warranty covers everything.

I don't recall paying a single thing when I had the 50k service done. My car is a 2002, but I had the service done back in 2004.

I paid nothing for my 50K service and it was slightly over 50K when I went in. The 50K isn't more than an oil change and a bunch of checks though. What year is your car?
