We were not notified of the lawsuit, and only heard about it recently. When I asked about the lawsuit at the dealership while having service done, no one knew how to make contact with appropriate parties. They said to wait, because notifications usually come in waves. I need to know who to contact about this issue.

Received my 2 letters in the mail for 149.50 each. Sucks considering I no longer live in Kansas City so not sure if the dealer will honor the coupons over the phone for accessories.
I no longer own the car I purchased from Jay Wolfe Honda so I was going to buy some after market shock absorbers for another vehicle. I went to a parts store to find out what they would cost retail and found that the cost would be $99.96 plus tax. I took the information to the dealership and they told me that the shocks would cost me $150.00 which included tax. Assuming that tax would be about $10.00 they were marking them up about $10.00 for each shock. They were making $40.00 on the $99.50 settlement so the settlement only cost them $60.00. If I had work done at the dealership I sure that the work would have been marked up a like amount. I don’t know if this is what the judge intended but it really doesn’t seem fair to me.
