What maintenance have you done lately?

[GreddyAccord99]

just recently, i took the car to the shop to do a few things:

i wanted done:
-fuel filter
-power steering flush
-fix small oil leak
-pressure wash and degrease engine bay

what was done:
-power steering flush
-tightened all belts including timing belt
-multiple (around 4) oil leaks
-spark plugs
-distributor cap and rotor
-new battery
-new battery terminals
-new brake pads
-degrease and polish engine bay

effects:
-power steering whines like a giant blower
-brakes arent as firm as they used to be
-everytime i let off the brakes it sounds like a metal ball rolls back and hits a wooden board
-extra vibration when i accelerate (thought it was from the wheels, but now i think its from the engine)

yea....i think im going to buy a jack and jack stands and start doing things myself.

damn go back and have them test drive it..sounds like you gave it to them in better condition before they supposebly fixed the problems.

they did test drive it and they said they thought it was fine. i then pointed out the extra vibration and the told them the brakes weren't as firm. they told me jus drive it for a week and if it still happens come back. the brake pads settled in, but werent as good as when i first took them in. extra vibration is still there. they said the power steering whine is still happening because of possible bubbles in the fluid eekwtf and the knocking sound when letting off the brakes is there and annoying. im taking it back reall soon.

I wonder what kind of brake service they did, I'd bleed the brakes just to double check their work..

Well last night I replaced my front brake pads which was fun

Before that, I had my spark plugs replaced, my timing belts and the water pump replaced.

I also did a seafoam treatment, and got an oil change.
