overcharged. my invoice wasn’t even itemized so I feel like they just took one look at me as a woman and decided I wouldn’t know better. Most mechanics will at least put price per part/service on the invoice.

Scammers We contacted them two days ago about our Infiniti M35. We came from another state — the car stopped starting, the button didn’t respond, and the situation was very stressful. They took advantage of that. The diagnostic cost was $160. When we came back the next day, they told us the steering lock system had failed and said replacing it would cost $1600 — which is absolutely absurd. They also said they would “program it.” We told them we wouldn’t do that. Then the mechanic said, “I can start the car for you for $90 so you can leave.” In the end, once we got home, I found out the issue was just a small button, which I bought at a junkyard for $5. They clearly knew the problem was just that little button, but tried to scam us out of our money. Either way, thanks for the help. Note to future customers: they will try to scam you

If you’re looking for a car repair shop where the mechanics have an uncanny ability to diagnose issues purely through the power of their mind (and a quick spin around the block), then look no further than Precision Car Care! I brought my car in, and after a brief joyride, the mechanic confidently declared that both my sway bar links and bushings needed replacing – a mere $1100 for the honor. That’s $550 per side, for those keeping track. What’s truly impressive is that they managed this feat without even bothering to lift the car and check. Why use those fancy car lifters when you can just wing it, right? Naturally, I was skeptical and sought a second opinion. Turns out, the actual problem was the lower control arm – you know, the part with the ball joint, something you’d expect a competent mechanic to check. The repair cost at the other place? Just $600, or $300 per side.
