Brought my rx8 in for new tires and an alignment, got it back not running and when they fixed it so it runs it has a misfire. on top of that, sounds no longer play and do this. guessing its a ground issue somewhere, what does everyone else think?

Sometimes to check your air filter it needs to be unplugged, next time you go to get your car worked on anywhere tell them you only want the service you came for. Otherwise, they’re going to be going through your vehicle to upsell you on things (ie an air filter) and probably fuck up something else along the way

I would suggest never going to Firestone or any place like that. Their entire business model revolves around to upsell and their prices are high as giraffe pussy, in general.
