Can you rate someone a NO STAR? These crooks tried to drain my bank account. I have a truck that needed just a front end alignment, so I dropped it off to them because I had to work. They call me about 10:00 a.m. and I was expecting to hear...your truck is finished. NOPE!! They say you are gonna need two or three front end components replaced...my reply ok so what does that mean in terms of price. They reply with $1700.00. $1700.00????? Really.
So, I told them I will pass on the $1700 repair and thank them for their time. They say no need to thank us..we still get paid. WHAT??? I ask them what did they do...they said they put it on the rack. Last time I check it takes 5 minutes to put a car on a rack. Mechanics usually charge $60-$70 an hour. SO they charged me $30 for 5 minutes. CROOKS. I pay the $30, pick up my truck, and look at it myself. Only one of the components that quoted needed replaced from what a ""reputable"" mechanic told me. However, I replaced not only the one part that needed replaced, but the whole front end for less than $200. (No labor, I did it myself in under 2 hours). SO lets review... $200 parts, labor 2 hours >$70/hr x 2= $140, total= $340. Where the heck did they get $1700. Maybe one other review made sense.....they needed the money to support all those cigarettes they smoked in my truck.
THANKS, BUT NO THANKS CAR WISE. DO THE COMMUNITY A FAVOR AND SHUT SHOP!!
