They tried to charge me several thousand dollars for a part that you can get aftermarket for $300 and told me you could not get it after market. They also tried to tell me I had several thousand that I needed done that did not actually need done. They have done it to another person I know as well. I suggest never going to them because they seem like they will attempt to up charge you out of house and home. They told me that my car overall needed $12,000 worth of things done to it. I took it to another mechanic and they told me that some of what they told me did need done, but it would be 1/4 to 1/2 the cost they quoted me. They will try to trick anyone who doesn’t know what car maintenance costs. The only thing I’m glad about is I know to never use them. They charged me odor two inspections despite telling me it would only be the flat $170 for the inspection. NEVER USE THEM. Go to literally anyone else.
Hi Emily. Thank you for leaving us a review. It appears we errored in our communication and I do apologize. You had multiple concerns with the Volkswagen that would require multiple testings to be performed on the car to determine what the cause was for all of those. I researched the part for your vehicle and the OEM on is about $2600. There is not currently an aftermarket supplier that I can find of this part but I do find a lot of used ones for around $300. We would not have been comfortable installing a used one in your vehicle. I do apologize that our communication wasn't more clear. Upon our 50 point inspection, we did identify about $12,000 worth of repairs and maintenance on your car as it is getting up there in miles but still has plenty of life left, but we understand if you choose not to make all of those repairs. It's our duty to make you aware so you can make the best choice that fits you. We also prioritized the items with red and yellow so that you know what the most pressing needs are. Please let me know if I can clarify anything else for you. Joe Jerkins, President 515-225-9090
