[EVA Unit-01]

[JC ELLIS]

If you book your service online you are entitled to a discount.

The thing is with me is that I had forgotten my password to log on and I couldn't get in to do it. I told them that so they still gave me discount.

[EVA Unit-01]

OHO!!! i usually book by phone...

[JC ELLIS]

Try online then; you might be just lucky. But how you ain't see the big banner in their service area talking about online discount?

[EVA Unit-01]

Fellas i now clean the rainx wipers and notice that the blade is graphite coated, so cleaning it with rubbing alco would have to be done spareingly.

[turbo_beast369]

JC ELLIS $45 per quart for cvt fluid? that's ah bess price.
