Tippa chip? Time to go to a different garage. Maybe they said computer chip, but that's not the point. They are guessing what is wrong with your car at your expense.

Find a local mechanic and stay away from dealerships. They usually overcharge for work and have mechanics working on a commission basis. In other words, the more the mechanic can find wrong with your car, the more money HE gets paid.
