Default Spent $600 to fix my car

I spent $600 to fix that little bogging problem... It is still not fixed. I feel these people at tire plus dont kno wat the hell they are doin. They gave me new spark plug and wires and all that. but it still does it. It only happends sometimes(altest 6 times for the day). I can discribe the sound you hear as if you are underwater blowing bubbles. after like 2 sec it takes off then everything is cool then it happens agian. Can anyone help? I got a new fuel filter and air filter. I am out of ideas.

Read the name on the sign ....."Tires Plus", what made you think they could fix it? I would go slap em until they fix it. $600 is no small amount...

well the thing is the cant find the problem. when they test it out it acts fine. even went on the test drive with the mechanic and nothing happend.[&:]
As soon as i left it happend again. They said just wait till it happends more frequently then come back and the check itout for free. I think i should of went to a honda dealership or something wat says you?
