My girlfriend was having transmission issues, so we took here car in to A+. They said that they would have to take the transmission out and take it apart to determine what exactly was wrong. This alone cost $385 and then they were to follow up with a quote. The car was in the shop for two days before they got it taken part (I found out later this should have taken no longer than a couple of hours). I had them fax me the quote for $3044. I sent this quote to three other repair shops, each of which beat this estimate by at least $500, the cheapest being $1800. I felt like they were trying to rip me off so I called A+ and told them this and that I wanted to pay the $385 for work done and that I would have the car towed to another shop. The woman on the phone told me that I would have to talk to her manager, Jamie Vall. He refused to listen when I told him that I just wanted to pay for the work done and get the car ready to be towed. After 10 minutes of arguing he became belligerent and told me that I would now have to pay $495 in cash, and that the car ""may or may not be ready to be towed by the weekend,"" and hung up on me. When I called back, the manager and the girl in the office refused to talk to me. The next day I tried to get a hold of the corporate office, which took until mid-afternoon. After further arguing with them, I was finally able to get them to call the shop that the car was at and tell them to get the car down to be towed and that I only owe the $385. It was the most ridiculous, frustrating experience I have ever had with a repair shop. They are absolutely a bunch of criminals who tried to overcharge me and held the car hostage for 3 days. DO NOT go here or they WILL TRY TO RIP YOU OFF.
Cons: EVERYTHING (Bad service, bad prices, bad manager, etc.)
