Well, our car broke down and…

While my wife and I were in Philly on Friday our car died and it was taken to a dealership in the city where it waited until Monday for them to hook the computer up to it. When it was hooked up to the diagnostic computer they told us it had a bad fuel pump and it would cost $900 to replace it. This seemed astronomically high so I arranged to have it checked out by a family friend, he checked it out and told us that the computer reported no issues and maybe it was water in the fuel, and to top it all off it started just fine after being towed from Philly. So now our car is fine after being towed all around south-eastern PA, but I now will never buy a car from this unmentioned dealership which, when all is said and done would have gotten well over a grand of our money.

Update: Well, it broke down again shortly after this was originally posted and even after all of this, it was fixed for cheaper than the dealership could do it.
