I went in for the recall reprogramming and received a "free" inspection. I can understand most of the items, but these 2 are new to me!

    Nothing is free. Does the car run bad? The decarboning of the intake and cleaning of the throttle body is a necessary service if it is done correctly. Good luck with that.
