Update on loss of Turbo Boost and check Transmission light

[ac7880]

Tom,

Perhaps you are jumping the starter gun? How can they demand a 100%
refund from previous shops until the problem is actually proven to be
solved with a simple new air filter replacement?

What if they demand refunds, and the last shop's fix is not the final
solution?

Do they then refund the refund?

Let them get a fix that proves out in the long haul before pointing
fingers at previous shops and demanding money back. Maybe the 3rd
shops diagnosis is correct--or maybe not. 3 opinions thus far -
which one is right? The one that solves the problem over the next
30 days and multiple miles is likely the right one.

As for me, I would never "immediately contact both shops
for a 100% refund", until it was proven beyond a boubt they were both
wrong - and even then I would cut slack for the hours they expended
in good faith to help me solve the problem when I needed help.
