- Hey gang, I went to get my car, a '06 Scion xB /w 54,000 mi, state inspected on Sat. When it was done, they suggested that I have the fuel injectors "cleaned". Only $150! My question to the group, is

- first question would be why they recommended it. Sounds like a bit of an upsell. Never had the in-car procedure done, but I have sent off sets to Marren Injection to have them done, and never got bac
