Sensors, Sensors and more Sensors.....

So...about two weeks ago I was in L.A for work. One of the Crank Position Sensors on my '03 FX45 decided to die...so I limped to the nearest Infiniti Dealer (AutoNation Infiniti). They kindly replaced the sensor and charged me an arm and a leg. I was as happy as I could be to pay up as it was cheaper than a tow home to San Diego. Fast forward to yesterday... the same type of sensor goes out while driving to the Dyno Shop...I then park the car...and it won't start back up. Code comes up as the crank or cam sensor :( .
I have the car towed to Kearney Mesa Infiniti where I find out these sensors should always be replaced in pairs, and I am given a quote to replace the remaining 3 sensors (2 cam and one crank) for just about what the other dealer charged me to replace the one crank sensor.
On the bright side... I get a sporty Q50 loaner car for a day :).
Question is... I'd like to go after the first dealer to re-coup some of the cost of the first repair. However, owing to simple inexperience of the tech or service writer, they will just tell me to F off. Any thoughts?
 
Sorry you had to go through the dramatic experience. Your initial thoughts about them telling you to F off is usually correct. It may not be worth your time to go after them only to be told to buzz off.
