Got my car back last night. Everything's great.
Headlights adjusted 0.2 hrs -$17.
Trunk lid adjusted 0.2 hrs -$17.
Performed TSB 03-023 to fix noise that's coming from where the top meets the driver's side windshield pillar. This included lubing all necessary seals per the TSB. No charge.
No leakage from clutch master cylinder. No charge.
In their opinion the inside convertible top wear is normal. However, they completely detailed the inside of the top to ensure they weren't missing anything. No charge.
Convertible top was fixed per TSB 02-065 to fold correctly by replacing the elastic bands that connect the top's second and third rib. No charge.
Dent Busters fixed all of the accumulated small dings in the body work, perfectly. $200
Driver's side window regulator was replaced per TSB-01-008. No charge.
Clutch disc was replaced per TSB 00-054. I paid for a new OEM press plate, flywheel, and TOB. These items cost me $415.06, but the labor to install was free. Note that I had requested that torque values be adhered to and all special lube points be lubed with the recommended lubricants. The service write-up mentions these procedures specifically--impressive.
When I picked up the car, Lori went over everything with me and while we were discussing the service, Caesar happened to be out on the drive and took the time to stop and talk about everything he'd done--again, very impressive.
Took the car out for a pretty good spin and everything works as advertised, no hidden surprises, and the clutch is smooth and buzz free.
All in all a great story, and Earnhardts's gets my heartiest recommendation. Just ask for Lori as your service advisor and get Caesar to perform the work.
PS: I've got the old parts, and they look to be in good shape to me. Anybody in the market for a used clutch disk, throwout bearing, and flywheel. I'd also like to get rid of the RM Racing strut tower bar I had on the car.
