AAA West Vail Shell

My daughter was towed to this station because AAA said it had to be towed there even though she was between Avon and Vail.  Her car broke down on Saturday evening.  She had to get a hotel room.  The tow truck driver said he could get her a rate of $179.99 at the Holiday Inn next door(WOW).  I called Holiday Inn and got a much better rate( so much for their so called discount).  She had to stay 2 nights because of Sunday and nothing was open for her to go elsewhere.  Took them all but a few minutes to diagnose it as a bad battery.  They were gonna charge her $280.00 for a battery.  The place down the road was 1/2 that price.  Told this station no thangs but they tried to charge her $70.00 for their few minutes of time.  Shame on them.  They did finally lower that price to $40.00.  I think the entire thing was sketchy. DON't have your car towed to this place pay the extra money yourself and towed elsewhere.  

If your car is towed to this location, it's worth paying to have it towed somewhere else for repairs. The only reason this shop stays in business is the towing company attached next door. They will charge you double what the job is worth and put used parts in, then charge you for new parts. They charged me $450 to replace the alternator and it lasted about a week. I took it somewhere else and was told the "new" alternator was actually rusted out and probably salvaged from a junkyard. Avoid at all costs.
