im not sure if this is ur first car...but u should keep in mind that dealer repairs almost always cost a lot more than in other shops. even parts are more expensive from a dealer. try to find a good local mechanic...or...get a hold of a repair manual and learn to do some maintenance/repairs urself. there are also lots of online stores that sell oem parts for less than most local dealers. just spend some time to shop around for parts and mechanics...
