Car Debacle

Ok, so this morning the check engine lights wern't on anymore but i still had an appointment so i utilized it. As i pulled up to the toyota service department i was told that it would cost 97.00 to even take a look at my car and run it through the computer. But because the lights wern't on i concluded that everything was fine. well after talking to the guys at toyota they said i should talk to Ford (the place where i bought my used scion XB) about my warranty. so i preceded over to the Ford dealership and they basically gave me a few numbers to call and also to give to toyota so that they could properly fix my car in the future. 
So i decided that i would test out my warranty now while my car was fine. and not wait until the engine blew up on me. so i had my door lock fixed. which would've came out to 356.74 had i not had the warranty. but i ended up paying 200.00 which is my deductible. 
Yea its a hefty price to pay to have my door lock fixed but at least now i know that i wont have to pay the ridiculous 97.00$ fee for smelling my car. Because if something is wrong with it and its covered under the warranty then ill be good.
so just incase you have a warranty from another car dealership than the one you are having it serviced at you will now know the warranty should cover your expenses as long as it was included in the package to begin with.

That's good they took care of it baby..I'm glad you went back to follow up on it- to make sure that they weren't pulling one over on you. Speaking about pulling one over, the landlords returned another 120 of our deposit for the cleaning because I fought like all hell for it! We rock!
