I've had to have this done twice now at like $150 a job. Is this a job that anyone can do? I feel that the stealership is cheating me on this. I know they jack prices up by like 300%+

Hello everyone! I'm a new member, and I am an owner of a 2014 Mazda 3 :smile2: About 2 weeks ago I found a stray dog running around the streets and decided to bring him to the pound. Right when we'd arrived, the dog pooped on the passenger seat. It wasn't solid poop either, and the dog proceed...
