Service writers are worse then used car salesmen.

I took my wifes BMW to the dealer to have the heater core replaced(could not find anyone else that would touch it) and after she picked it up she was all in a panic because the service writer told her the front and rear rotors were junk and her brakes could fail at any time. Needles to say i had to jack up the car and check it out and yes the pads and rotors were worn but they went for another 10k before i replaced them(front only). I can not imagine having to take my car to be worked on by a dealer on a regular basis.

I would take it to an indy if you are realy woried about it. But it sounds to me like you should be fine.
