I dropped Maria's car off at Rusnak Volvo last Friday, after a series of dashboard lights lit up: "Check Engine!" "Emissions Failure!" "Start Panicking!" I also wanted them to check the car's battery, which dies every few weeks (until we recharge it).
A day later, I returned to the Pasadena shop, where they filled me in on the problem: When finished pumping gas, the gas cap needs to be clicked three times. (The gas cap was on, yes, but not tight enough.)
The charge for these pearls of wisdom? $50.
No lie. Why they didn't just tell me to first check the gas cap is beyond me, other than the obvious -- what an easy way to make $50.
The kicker? They didn't even check the battery. Rusnak Volvo, you're on my shit list.
