Yeah dealerships are rarely the right answer as well haha. Good Indy is almost always the right answer.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
Do we have a thread on best indie shops?
I found one recently...Chanda Auto by Chinook Mall.
I am assuming that is for the First Macan GTS service? or Just for a Oil change?This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
I did the first service on mine couple of weeks ago and it was $ 425.
Maybe yours is Price adjusted for Vancouver
Back to the Jiffy Lube on Creek Side , when I had the winter beater I have taken mine there for Oil changes there and I had no issues.
They were nice to deal with IMO

LOL indy hires the same noob tech to do your oil changes...This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
I think the differentiator is the indy has the most to lose if they do a bad job. Dealers and jiffy lubes will always be lined up with customers who don't know/care about their cars, are just there for warranty work, etc.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
An indy has to rely much more on reputation and good CX for future work than either of the other two, and therefore is more likely to deliver work they can stand behind or remediate mistakes made by the noob instead of telling the customer to kick rocks.
It could be a coincidence that you now have this fault, but it also might not. P0330 doesn't mean you need a knock sensor, it means the engine module doesn't like the voltage that it sees on the signal line. The problem could be the knock sensor itself or an open or short in the signal line that runs from the sensor to the engine module. On mini vans, bank 2 is usually the side of the engine that you see when you pop the hood. Knock sensors are usually bolted to the side of the engine block or in the valley underneath the intake manifold. But the wiring harness that connects them can run anywhere under the hood. The lube tech could have damaged a wiring harness when he was ham fisting your air filter box.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
I would take it to a reputable shop, tell them what happened. Get it diagnosed and repaired properly. If it turns out that the lube shop did damage something. Take the bill back to the lube shop and see if they will reimburse you. I recommend taking it to a shop called My Garage in Airdrie.
I'm usually all over shitting on dealerships. But this time I will take their side. Quick lube shops hire a bunch of uneducated teenagers. Lead by an uneducated adult. It's like the blind leading the blind.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
Dealerships hire the same uneducated teenagers, but are placed in the shop with manufacturer certified master technicians and Journeyman technicians working in the bays around them. They sorta get watched by someone who should know what they are doing. If something does get f'ed up, the chances of it being fixed are a lot higher than just repeatedly clearing trouble codes.
And there lies the issue... not only did the OP have his fingers in there now a 2nd shop will. So how do you know who did what? There is zero evidence it falls back on the lube shop and the best course of action is have a shop fix it and chalk it up to an expensive lesson and never go back to a lube shop... unless its for other lube jobs.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member.

Do we actually think that the disconnection of the air intake caused the knock sensor error?
I don't.

I have known the owner of this Jiffy Lube for 15+ years, He runs a good business and if and when at fault has no issue fixing the problem to makes his customers happy. I was just there with my Bronco and service was great.

There’s a couple beyonder owned shops that I use for all my servicing now.
Steve at VS One and Jackie at Ballance Auto are both A++
For the last >7 years, I've gone pretty far out of my way to take my japanese cars to Jackie.
The quotes I got were 655$ for the first year service, 1800$ for the second year, and 2600$ for the third.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
When I tried to figure out wtf was included I got a speech about how they wear white gloves
And the thing about dealerships is that they are doing oil changes on the same vehicles over and over so they have their procedures down and don't have to do any guesswork compared to shops that work on every flavor of vehicle out there.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member.
