I got the BlueTruck back from the shop... the new shocks have been installed,
but DrWrench discovered another issue
with the suspension, it seems that a connector on the rear sway bar had
disconnected, a further explanation for its rough ride lately. The thing here is
that this is the third noticeable issue of this sort that has gone undiagnosed
by the local dealer where they perform my scheduled maintenance. Prior to
missing the sway bar (which is hanging literally an inch from the shock they
discovered was leaking), they also failed to notice any brake wear through
several tire rotations and such until the brakes were irreparable and needed
replacing, and they also missed a broken hose through at least one oil change
that involved inspecting the hoses and belts. Strike three and they are out... I
guess I can only blame myself for this, though, as there are certainly enough
folks out there who will testify that the car dealer is probably not the place
to go for repairs and maintenance. I guess I now qualify as one of them. Yeesh.

My experience has usually been that Dealers do good work, they just charge twice as much as anyone else. I'll echo this, ands say that while you pay more, the repair work usually last longer, too. Note the word "usually" though...just because you go to the dealership doesn't mean that everyone that works there knows what they're doing.
