    I took my son’s car there to get his speedometer fixed. I asked for an estimate and wasn’t given one. He said it needed new struts and an axle. I said I wanted an estimate. After doing the work, he sent me a bill. Then he said it needed more things and tacked those on as well. I got a bill for $1,500 and the speedometer is still not fixed.
