My cars breaks were leaking so I had the car towed here, they took the car and said "we'll call you in the morning". They called me in the morning, said it would be $500 to fix and can they start on it? I thought about it and as it was an old car said, no, I think I'll donate it to charity. I'll come and pick it up. I then asked if there was any charge since I already knew that I just needed new break lines. They said, well they worked on it for a few hours so it will be $150. I NEVER ASKED THEM TO WORK ON THE CAR. I knew that the break line needed replacing, there was no need for them to work on the car and charge me $150 for non-authorized work. After calling and arguing about this price 4 times they refused to budge and I had to pay $150 to just get the car to be released.
I never authorized them to work on the car, I asked them to call me before they did anything, not after they decided to wrack up hours and charge me $150.
I will never go back there and urge you to not as well. You never know what their hidden charges will end up costing you.
