I am in the shop right now and lets see what they tell me. This brings me to the question of maintence. I bring my car in for maintence at regular 10k interval and my last check up was less than a week ago for the 130k mile service. I am not sure what is the purpose for me to do these preventive care if they can't spot it ahead of time. I can do my own fuild changes, I might as well just ignore these 10k interval and only bring the car in for big service (timing belt) or when the car stops running.

Anyone feels the same? I feel like if I am tossing 200-300 dollars everytime I go in I shouldn't be stranded due to a battery problem. That's besides the fact I just discovered I am missing a lug nut on one of the wheel. Did they forget to put one on or they didn't notice it during maintence. Either way I felt like I got charge for an every expensive oil change at 130k service.
