Anyone in Houston willing to do a STAR diag on Airmatic for me?
I have read posts of others saying there are people that offer up free STAR diagnostics, however, I don't want to be rude and ask them to do it for me.
I have a CarMax warranty, so I had my car towed in to the CarMax off I-10 and Mason Rd a couple weeks ago because the front right air strut blew out. While it was there, they said they were going to replace it and the front left one at the same time cause it was leaking air.
Now for the past few days, I keep getting Visit Workshop errors, the car is not raising and lowering on command. Sometimes it sits at proper height, sometimes it's low. Using the extra height button to the left of the comfort control button gets the dash display to say car raising, but the car doesn't raise. A couple days ago, I left the extra height button on and the next day I came out, it had raised to the extra height. When I disabled the extra height, it didn't lower the car for another day.
I am pretty sure CarMax screwed something up and I am scheduled to bring it in on Tuesday, but I have lost confidence in this repair center. I was previously in Sacramento, CA until a couple months ago and the CarMax out there took really good care of getting everything fixed for me and usually sent it out to Mercedes or Mercedes specialist shops. The CarMax here in Katy gives me a feeling they don't actually give a crap.
So, I was really hoping someone could help me out and check to see if they can find the problem. I am pretty broke as we recently moved out to Katy from Sacramento and I started my job a couple months ago, so I'm still a bit behind on getting bills caught back up. I'd be happy to buy you a pack of beer if that helps any.
Thanks!

I will however most likely be taking my car to one of the specialist shops here in the area. I was going to search more later on which shop in the Houston area was best to take the car for warranty work though.
