Plus, they'll check out that ANC problem a few of you have had. I've had similar problems three times over the year I've had this car. Hopefully, mine will be fixed.

I asked about rotating and balancing the tires. They said it was about $55?! Sheesh! Why so much?? I'll just take it to the local tire shop. I think it's something like $20 there.

Do any of you have over-zealous windshield washer fluid nozzles? My washer shoots fluid on the windshield, roof, and down the back glass of the car. I asked the dealer if they were adjustable, but they said it wasn't.
Considering about every tire shop I go to charges from 9.99 to 12.99 to balance a tire when you buy them new, your quoted price for a rotation and balance is not out of line.

What I would want to know is why your tire dealer charges you 10 dollars a tire to balance them when brand new, but on a rotation and balance they can charge you less then 5 dollars a tire when you factor in the charge for the labor of rotating the tires.
