Of course I declined. Yesterday I took it in for it's scheduled oil change and somehow got new front tires....they now measured a 10. I must have the best car ever made. My tires are getting better with increased mileage. I wish I could find a really good neighborhood shop that understands higher performance cars and never visit a dealership again.
My dealer wanted $400 dollars worth of various things including changing windshield wipers and inspecting seat belts, at 30,000 miles. I got it all done for $112 saved about $300..and I know this guy is honest and capable...which is a good find..second only to being able to do it yourself..
