Update on loss of Turbo Boost and check Transmission light

[Julia Bonser]

I would not expect or ask for 100% refund. I would ask for a partial
refund on the part of the bill that represent diagnostic time.
Evaluating the air filter as still usable led to two more service
calls on our part.
I don't think the opinions of 3 different shops disagree as much as
the first two only addressed part of the problem. After the air
filter is replace then other tests can be done to make sure the issue
is resolved. I can hope the air filter will address the problem but
won't know that until later.

For those of us who are not mechanically inclined we really need
reliable service. When we get settled I will go over the records and
figure out when the filters were last changed.
