April 1998 CrashDeath

I took my 97 pontiac transport into the christensen dealership at 2125 n. University parkway. P.o box 1487 , provo utah 84604 for a recall on my windshield wiper parking assembly. The dealership charged me $40.00 to look at the windshield wipers and told me that they could not honor the recall because another person had taken the car in before me and had already fixed the recall.
