Brought vehicle in for an oil change and indicated I would like the brakes to be looked at. Oil change was fine, no problems there but the shop said that my brakes were in need of change for the price of 1700, I had a broken sway bar which was a matter of road safety that needs to be fixed (they said "it was broken in half"), my serpentine belt was in need of replacement due to cracks, and the battery needs to be replaced. The total for all work would be 2700. I thought the price was astronomical, didn't approve work, and took it to a friends place that had tools and space.The brakes were completely fine, in fact had roughly 80,000km's left, rotors were a bit rusty but that's not a reason to replace. The sway bar was not broken. The serpentine belt had no damage. The battery had a bit of corrosion and failed a load test which I knew so I understood this complaint and did it myself. In all, I didn't need to do any work, just wire brush the corrosion off and tighten a post. Quoted 2700. Dishonest, won't return. |

Customer service was friendly however they tried to charge me 2600 to fix my broken down vehicle, took it to another Mechanic and got all the same things fixed for 1400 |
