Had my 2003 done last Thursday. Took my tech about 1.5 hours, and he said it wasn't near as bad as the instructions made it out to be. You cant even tell anything was taken apart on the dash.

Well I have a different radio in mine and they didn't want to do it because it was aftermarket. I told them if it goes off with someowne in that seat there in deep doo doo. Now there going to do it.

+3 on the double-din. Since I custom installed it, I removed it for them so no scratches or excuses. Took little over hour and then I re-installed audio system, selected Korn from the playlist, pressed the red button for the real sound system from Belanger and hit the road

Well I finally got my car back yesterday after 10 days in the shop. It took the Viper Tech 12 hours to change this recall item. They must have left the doors open for the whole time. My car was coated with dust inside and out, finger prints, and bird crap to boot. Never will I go back to this dealer for work on my car. I had a recal on my Lexus and I got it back washed, Vac, and a full tank of gas. Go figure. They also gave me a loaner at no charge.

Unbelievable, wow!. See my post above - took my tech less than the allotted time. He said it really wasn't that bad, and you couldn't even tell anything was done. 12 hours??? My car was at the dealer for the recall, PA state inspection, installation for 4 new rotors and brakes, and tranny fluid change, and the whole of that too them about 4 hours. And the car was as pristine when I picked it up.

I dont know what to say except that I wont be going back. Not much I can do about it except clean it up. Which I did as soon as I got it home. Some people have no regards for others belongings.

Anyone know of a dealer who has performed this on long island?
