Horrible
experience
(makes
me
wonder
about
all
the
no-word,
5-star
"reviews");
tried
to
overcharge
over
$1,000
for
bogus
undiscussed
and
unverifiable
"repairs"
they
first
claimed
were
a
"miscommunication"
and
then
claimed
they
were
"doing
us
a
favor".
Came
here
with
our
used
car
we
were
only
looking
to
get
another
3-6
months
out
of
while
we
were
shopping
around
to
lease
a
new
one,
originally
because
of
the
reviews;
we
even
knew
exactly
what
the
problem
was,
it
was
a
computer
chip
that
had
gotten
water
damage
and
needed
to
be
replaced;
average
estimate
for
similar
work
ranged
from
$3-400
depending
on
location.
First
thing
they
told
us
was
they'd
have
to
charge
us
$80
to
"use
their
special
diagnostics
device"
to
make
sure
the
water
damaged
computer
part
was
the
problem.
We
told
them
we
were
100%
sure
it
was
the
problem,
but
they
said
it
was
"standard
practice"
they
use
their
electronic
do-hickey
to
diagnose
things
and
that
in
itself
was
an
$80
charge.
Told
us
later
that
sure
enough,
"the
computer
chip
was
damaged"
which
we
already
knew.
But
they
added
$80
to
the
bill
just
to
tell
us
stuff
we
already
knew.
But
wait
it
gets
better.
We
left
the
car
at
the
location
for
them
to
"look
the
car
over"
with
the
explicit
agreement
to
not
do
any
work
without
first
quoting
us
an
estimate.
They
agreed
to
call
us
later
in
the
day
with
an
estimate
and
only
do
any
actual
work
if
we
agreed
to
the
estimate.
The
didn't
call
back
that
day.
Didn't
call
us
next
morning
either.
So
later
the
next
day
we
called
them.
"Oh
yeah,
your
car
was
repaired
and
ready
for
pickup".
Obviously
this
was
not
what
we
agreed
to
since
all
parties
agreed
that
no
work
would
be
done
without
first
calling
us
to
verify
the
estimate.
But
wait,
it
gets
better.
We
went
there
expecting
the
higher
end
of
the
estimate
of
$3-400
plus
the
bogus
$80
"diagnostics
fee"
when
we
were
the
ones
who
told
them
what
the
problem
was
in
the
first
place.
So
we
figure
they'd
round
it
up
to
$500
just
to
weasel
an
extra
$20
for
some
misc.
fee.
Imagine
our
shock
when
the
tab
came
out
to
$1400.
"For
what?"
we
asked.
"Oh,
we
noticed
some
miscellaneous
wires
and
tubes
were
aging
and
we
decided
to
do
you
a
favor
and
go
ahead
and
replace
those
for
you."
"Wires/tubes
were
aging"
...
no
SH#+
SHERLOCK
it's
an
old
car
we
just
wanted
to
get
another
3-6
months
out
of
while
we
looked
to
lease
a
new
one
– being
that
it's
a
used
car,
EVERYTHING
in
the
car
was
"aging".
To
make
matters
worse,
they
didn't
have
the
old
wires
("Oh,
my
guy
threw
them
out
already")
and
there
was
no
way
to
verify
they
did
any
of
the
work
they
claimed
they
did
which
(1)
we
never
agreed
on
(2)
had
nothing
to
do
with
the
original
issue
of
why
the
car
was
brought
in.
So
basically,
we
came
in
for
a
repair
we
already
knew
was
needed,
estimates
online
range
from
$3-400,
they
charged
an
extra
$80
to
tell
us
stuff
we
already
knew
with
their
"diagnostic
tool"
and
then
tried
to
get
us
to
pay
$1400
because
"they
went
ahead
and
"did
us
a
favor"
and
"replaced
some
extra
wires
and
tubes".
All
of
which
they
did
without
first
getting
us
to
sign
off
on
the
estimate
as
per
the
agreement
we
had
and
NONE
of
the
extra
work
was
stuff
that
had
anything
with
what
the
issue
with
the
car
was
and
NONE
of
it
was
run
by
us
before
they
took
it
upon
themselves
to
start
random
"repairs"
that
weren't
even
necessary.
Oh
and
all
the
"wires
and
tubes"
cost
about
$250
online.
So
I
guess
they
just
tried
to
comp
themselves
the
difference
of
about
$750+
in
"labor"
for
stuff
we
didn't
ask
for,
didn't
need,
and
they
couldn't
even
verify
that
they
actually
did.
And
there
was
zero
noticeable
difference
in
how
the
car
ran.
