Seconded. I wouldn't dream of taking my car to a franchised dealers. First off, most of what you pay just go's towards all the nice shiny glass and people in suits, secondly they pay their mechanics peanuts, so all the good ones eventually leave and go work at an independent.
Sounds like your thermostat is working fine. However, I'd take a look at your radiator, and see if it is still in good condition. Also, check you have enough coolant if you think it is getting hot too quickly.
unfortunately, it is a dealer...i know they'd charge more on this, but it saves me some time on internet finding a ind garage and runnin around etc...actually, i did go down to an ind garage, but i didnt think they were sure about the heating problem neither, 'coz they were talking about my thermostat. so i thought i'd better find the answer by myself then.
i guess its because its not their car, they dont have any passion on it. they just do their job and get paid. but for us, as the owners and enthusiasts of our GTA, we'd like them to be perfect and see them as our loved ones
