OVERCHARGING - I brought my 2005 Jeep Wrangler here as a new customer to replace the driver-side seatbelt buckle. I supplied the part myself because Jeep no longer makes it, and I asked for an estimate for labor only. I was quoted $480 and was explicitly told this was a high estimate and that the final cost would likely be lower unless the job turned out to be unusually difficult. This repair is very straightforward and, based on standard repair information and widely available tutorials, should take about one hour. This is not a complex or labor-intensive process. There are four bolts to remove the seat and one other bolt to remove the receptacle for the seatbelt. When I picked up my car, I was charged the full $480 with no explanation. The invoice did not include an itemized breakdown of labor hours, labor rate, or how the charge was calculated. After I questioned the charge and pointed out that this is typically a one-hour job, they reduced the price by $50, bringing it to $430, which is still extremely high for this type of work. They later offered $100 off as store credit if I brought my car back, but I’m not comfortable returning, since my concern is being overcharged in the first place. This shop had an opportunity to fix the issue by issuing a fair refund, and they chose not to. I was hoping this would be an honest, reliable shop for all of my future repairs, but they have lost my business. If you’re a woman, I’d recommend coming here with a man so you’re not overcharged based on assumptions. After reading other reviews, I noticed that another woman described a very similar experience of being overcharged, which makes this feel like a pattern rather than a one-off mistake. I left feeling like I was taken advantage of. Once I pushed back, the cost suddenly dropped, though still not to a reasonable amount. Based on my experience, I would not recommend this shop. Transparency and fair labor practices matter.

Work was performed at the stated price and the analysis of my car was very thorough (although somewhat disappointing) The price quoted was fair, not exceptional, but perhaps you get what you pay for. I would recommend them as a service center to anyone in the area

Exorbitant diagnostic fee. $240 bucks to tell Me what I already knew. Quote was $500 for a part which I couldn’t find for half that price anywhere. $700 for 3 hours of labor. Beware good reviews lured me here.

Hi Daniel, I understand your concern, Daniel, we are not the cheapest. Unfortunately, our costs all across the board has risen, for us to stay in business, and employ top master technicians. We do good work, install OEM parts and give you a great nationwide warranty.
