So I dropped my JKU off Thursday and got the report back this morning. P0128 so thermostat is sticking open and they're replacing thermostat, weep hole in radiator under upper shroud and they're replacing radiator and new rad cap and head unit was frying so replacing the head unit all for my $100 deductible.
Jeep has 84k on the odo and they suggested a lot of maintenance that takes place at 100k that I normally do myself anyway that totaled $1264, I told them no on those things. I change my own fluids and spark plugs.
They put the Jeep in some type of water pressure room and determined the roof and two front doors needed new seals/gaskets - $1303. As bad as I hate a wet Jeep every time someone spits in the street I though $1303 was a tad excessive. The real kicker is the water leak is NOT covered under warranty. I would've figured I would be on my own with the radio and the water leak would be covered so I was a bit taken aback.
I can get the "new and improved" front door gaskets for $150 per door myself and my daughter could install those. I haven't priced the roof seals but I can't imagine they'd be anywhere close to $1003.
My response was to let them do a new thermostat, radiator and cap and radio for my $100 deductible. I'll do my own maintenance when 100k comes along and I guess address the leaks myself.
Is this pretty much the consensus of the JK crowd?
