I've had similar problems with Subaru and Ford dealerships.

In both cases I gave them the option of putting my good parts back in for free or leaving the new parts in place for free, either way I was not going to pay for their misdiagnosis, especially when I had told them what the problem was when I brought the cars in. Subaru opted for new parts, labor was higher. Ford opted for old parts, part price was higher.

Both times I wasn't out any money just the extra time it took to fix the real problems . . .
