black2011

I have a 2011 and I have a LeBra. Nose mask. It covers the entire fascia, bumper, and part of the hood. I would say the fit is ok, not great. Easy to install and does the job for long trips. I paid under $100 on eBay new.

I have bought MOPAR bra's for other vehicles and the fit on those was perfect! I would shell the extra dough. I went cheap and you get what you pay for.

Those are sick! I know what I am saving for

I have always heard that the best "day" to buy a car is President's Day. It is the "black Friday" of car deals. Watch next time if rolls around. You will see crazy deals. It is sort of a tradition for dealerships to go all out on that weekend.

I was an auto insurance adjuster for several years. Even just a scratch on a bumper can be in excess of $600. It all depends on what kind of paint, how much blendIng is required, and how much clear coat they will use to make all the conjoining panels look shiny so they match. I would say that sounds in line, doesn't sound like u r getting ripped off. Hope that eases ur mind. Make sure you research the repair facility, and make sure they Warranty their work.

I posted in order to find a GOOD dealer to go to close to Scottsdale. I have had routinely bad service at Airpark Dodge and am fed up. I don't want to continue to make excuses for them. It's like a restaurant , if I have lousy service or bad food, I will not find excuses on why it may be that way. I move on to the next if repeat service is constantly lousy. I have POSITIVE experiences too Scottsdale Lexus is amazing! Prompt, complete service, great staff, they greet you with a cold water bottle (nice gesture in AZ). Would recommend them to anyone with a Toyota or Lexus.

Anyone in AZ with a great dealer to go to for routine maintenance, I am all ears.

I figured we need a thread for people to research Dealerships , and to see what kind of service others have received when going ther for routine service and significant repairs. I figured I would start with mine

Airpark Dodge

Scottsdale AZ

Would NOT reccomend

Horrie Service. Went in for oil change. Stood by my car in service lane for 20 minutes. Not a soul to be found. Had to go find someone to help me. Many other customers waiting like me. After the service. I noticed hey did not check my tire pressure, which I specifically asked he service manager to address. Wanted to make sure they put them all to the same level.

Are you in Arizona? I have worked with Service King a lot. I am an insurance adjuster. Just let me say this is not the first story like this I have heard. A shop in AZ that I would recommend to anyone is AZ Fleet Services on 19th avenue. I have had countless customers tell me what a great experience they had there. I hope everything turns out ok.

I'm right there. I bought the unlimited monthly pass to the local car wash. I go pretty much every other day..... Even thought the car isn't dirty! I can't stop!

Any performance mods? Any more pics?

I have always used Tarminator. Made by Stoner. It loosens the bugs, and is safe for all paints. I get it at O'Reily Auto Parts. That plus a bug sponge....works every time.

I'm sure the video doesn't do the exhaust justice. I'm sure it will sound better once u put some miles on it. My Megan Racing exhaust sounds much better 6 months later. Here is a short clip.

Did u install it yourself? Or was it professionally done? Cost for installation?

I am an insurance adjuster. Any "at fault" Collision, which this event is, will raise your rates. In order to make this a "comprehensive" which are "not at fault" accidents, u must say the tire flew up in the air, and landed right on ur car. That is a " flying object". Just make sure u carry comprehensive coverage. Collision accidents are what underwriters look at. And those accidents follow u for 3 years on average.

I have used this place in the past. For a Chrysler Crossfire. I was very happy. No affiliation. Look for Posi-Quiet pads. Those have always done well for me.

I too get the spring noise. Not sure what it is though.

Sounds like you have a bad wheel hub bearing. Possibly needs to be replaced. Should be under warranty.

Has anyone actually ordered any of these parts? Interested to what impressions were of quality and fitment.

I have searched high and low. Are there really no aftermarket tail lights for this vehicle?

Do all the Black Journeys come with the Tri-stage sparkly paint? Or is there a plain single stage black also available?

I just switched to a K&N filter and have see a noticeable gain inMPG. I have always been around 24-24.5. Now with the K&N and am up to 27.1. That has been with me nursing the throttle. Commute daily is 80hwy -20cty. Definitely worth the $60. It will pay for itself shortly.

I replaced both the mufflers on my 3.6 to a straight through flow muffler from Megan Racing. I am averaging 24MPH. It is pretty much 80%highway 20%city. Not sure what it was before that. But that number is still pretty depressing. Not sure if there is any way to squeeze exta mpg's out of these motors.

Thank you. That's all helpful information.

I have the 19" Chrome Clad wheels on my 2011, is the torque spec still 100lbs? I see that most manufacturers recommend 80-90 depending on size of the vehicle. 100lbs just sounds a little high. Can anyone help me with this. Thanks!

I went in yesterday for a paint sealant treatment called ZakTec. Took them 45 minutes to apply and I was very impressed. The sparkles in the paint look much more vibrant, and the color looks extra glossy. I believe this was a service included on the window sticker for an additional amount. I go in and have it applied every 6 months. I would recommend it out here in AZ.

I have a 2011 also and love the Alpine system. Although I came from a Lexus, which had a sound system suitable for my sons "Power Wheels" toy. That too was classified as "Premium".
