Is there any way to get under there and take some pictures? If the car is under warranty I would not be too concearned about it. They're not going to try and purposely skip over the real problem unless they're an unethical dealer.
I should've taken pictures, but I had it in Friday for the diagnosis and today it's back in for the repair, with a busy weekend I just couldn't get around to it. My bad.

I skipped the unethical dealer on this one. Learned my lesson last time. That was a disaster. I went to the dealer with a better service reputation locally. Not where I purchased the Civic but they didn't seem to care. I explained what happened with the other dealer and they understood.
