Will they still charge me $800 to put a new exhaust on a car that has fatal issues and will not pass state inspection?
We need another cash for clunkers!
They wanted over $500.00 to replace the radiator fan assembly on my 2004 Mustang. I did it for slightly over a $100. At that point I found that it still didn't work and that they lied to me when they said the relays were OK. Found a tiny little jpg of the relay setup on the web and replaced it myself. I do let them put temporary plugs in tires.
I stopped to help a guy who’s car had overheated...it had run out of coolant because the clamps to the heater core hadn’t been tightened down.
Oh yeah, he was driving it home from PB’s after having the head gaskets replaced there.
I worked in PB’s as a part timer many years ago...not a bad place then, got my parts at or near cost. But when they started adding scooters and other non-sensical, non-auto items to the inventory, I stopped patronizing them.
They wanted $1200 to change two rotors and put new brakes on a co-worker of my wife’s car, said it could be even more when they get it on the rack. My wife told me and I sent her friend to the mechanic/garage we use. She needed brakes on the front end, $100.
