10/07/2022 - Serviced my vehicle for brakes, primarily a vehicle inspection, install one singular lugnut, and assistance with my p0420 code From the get go I was going to be spending $80 for the vehicle inspection. When the vehicle inspection was complete there came an absurd long list of problems which was very out of the ordinary. I proceeded with 1-Vehicle Inspection, 2-Remove and Replace Engine Cooler Thermostat, 3-Coolant Drain and Fill, 4-Engine Oil Leak, Dye and Inspect, 5-Remove & Replace Axle Shaft Oil Seal, 6- Front Brake Service, and 7- Rear Brake Service. I was under the impression these were issues hidden in plain sight so I gave the go ahead for the grand total of $1,919.29 even though I came just for the inspection, rattle (was just my catalytic convertor which this shop didn't solve the issue for), and brakes. This leaves me to my conclusion to why I believe the service I had performed on my vehicle was overpriced, deceiving, and unsatisfactory. The brakes are the only thing that had value but again the price for the brake job individually compared with a mechanic referred to me by a muffler shop is significantly cheaper and said muffler shop said the location I'm currently making a dispute with has had multiple customers come to his shop getting scammed out of their money. I decided to make this dispute mainly due to the fact my brakes started failing again on 11/8/22 and they had to replace my brakes almost was charged but it was under warranty luckily due to the parts that were installed being defective. Then again if I hadn't mentioned that a recent service that I had performed by this place they would have charged me for a service I had lerformed not even but a month ago. Not even this unfortunate event occurred but the shop found a way to quote me for $2,195.03 (which of course I wasn't gonna proceed with because recently had my inspection last month and these issues were current and the price is absurd as well once again)
