So, I called up the stealership and they said that the service for tightening is actually covered under warranty. They're going to send me a check for 57.85+tax back. For those of you who were previously mistaken, Squeaks and Rattles are covered under warranty for 12,000 miles. Length of time has nothing to do with it. Verified by both MNAO and the dealership.

Was your battery older or less than a year old? They said since mine was only pro-rated for a year, I have to front half the cost for the part. That doesn't bother me too much. The thing that gets me about the ignition problem was that I didn't get a new starter and plugs...
I'm going to take the car in for the starter/battery/plugs and my headlight covers to the dealership I bought my car from in the summer to have all of those fixed at once. Hopefully, they're better at service than this place nearby. If all goes well, I should have everything replaced under warranty and I'll have a fresh battery on top of it.

my 8 is an 04... when i bought it in November 05, it had 24000 miles, so i'm assuming that it was the original battery (more than a year old). i would consider asking about getting the money back for it.

My battery was well over a year old (2) and they replaced that, the starter and the plugs for free a month ago.
The battery replacement should have been covered. Get your money back and find another dealership.

So, the service guy basically blows me off about the TSB and says that he's going to look into that as well. I'm thinking of filing a complaint with them, I got a letter from MNAO about this service report card thing for this dealership. I could just turn in all bad ratings and reviews. I don't know what that would really accomplish though... =T
I think, regardless, I'll have to find a better service department.

I'll hang onto the report card until they call me back about the nut charge. Thanks for the advice.
I'd like to wait and see what they do first and then resort to underhand stuff later. I'll give them the chance to fix their own stuff first. If it doesn't work, then I'll take action.
