They disassembled my vehicle and told me I needed new brakes (rotors, drums, pads) and a new right front tie rod. Then they had the gall to quote it at over $700! I happen to know that these items cost around $100 in total. So they were charging $600 for about 2 hours of labor! This is not a classic/antique car, it's a little Hyundai. They just thought they could get one over on me, likely because I'm a female that they assumed knew nothing about cars. When I asked him to show me what was wrong, he acted exasperated and "showed me" some very questionable items in disrepair. Shame on this business. Buyers Beware! I told him to put my car back together so I could take it to an honest repair shop. All he got out of me was the $15!

I work on my own vehicles as i did for most of my life. They tried to tell me i needed $800 for tire rods and rack & Pinion which i knew does not need to be worked on. I recently had to use lube to replace sweey bar links and they thought it was from the rack & pinion which is totally different kinds of fluids. My trucks tire rods do not budge move or give me my problems let alone the truck drives straight enough where i can go for a mile with out touching the steering wheel. So my advice to you today is to take you care to a trusted well known mechanic so you don't get ripped off.
