So I am taking my car into the shop within the next couple weeks before I head back to school to get the brakes looked at/replaced, to get my middle consule fixed (cracked tray), and to look at my starter (awfully slow, struggling)....

What else can I get them to look at b/c I have 43,000 miles on my 8 and warranty will be up soon. I did a search but all I got was stale threads that didn't really answer my questions. What will be covered?? Will my brakes be covered?? Thanks.

 

If they are squeeling they might be covered under a TsB.
Also if your A/C is weak mention it, also a TsB for it.
I forget what the name of the site is but there is one with a bunch of TsB's listed.
Check them out and see if any may or may not apply to you. Just think of anything you've put off because you thought it was nothing.

 

Well if there is nothing else wrong with your car there is nothing else for them to fix.

Thanks guys for all your help. Keep the advice coming if you have any. It's good to see level-headed helpful answers instead of sarcastic remarks once in a while. Here's the list I have compiled so far...

- Squealing Brakes
- Moon Roof (or it sounds like there) Rattle
- Updated starter
- 650 CCA Battery Replacement
- Middle Consule Broken
- Oil Change
- Recharge A/C

Sorry to sound stupid, but what exactly is TsB?? Thanks.

 

^^ a tsb is a service bulletin... not a recall, but if there is something wrong with the car and it is covered on the TSB, it can be replaced for free.. check that finishline site and you can see all the TSBs and complain about a specific problem.. you can print it out and take it to the dealer... as long as you get all your recalls done, you should be good to go.
