thats all.

tell them that your brakes are squishy... (new brakes)

steering makes noises (steering rack/pump)

car is leaking oil (cam tensioner gaskets, valve cover gaskets)

making thunk noise over bumps. (8 new control arms)

still making thunk noise (tie rod ends)

still making thunk noise (sway bar links)

wheel bearing noises at all speeds (new bearings)

Your rear trans seal & rear diff seals are leaking ($$$)

slit or intentionally rip several of your outter CV boots... Front right goes the most often FYI. $$$$$

thats all I can think of right now

break up some black plastic and drop it in your sunroof tracks... they'll replace it for free.

his car's too late to be a key lime pie.

jam something in it.... ideally heat up a CD over an open flame... then push it into the unit.... it'll never come out and you can just say that it melted inside the unit if they give you hell for it.
