Beautiful morning, took the truck over to the Toyota place to get the wheel bearing worked on. Walked home from there. Wasn’t too bad only took about an hour. That was the best part of the experience. Got a call later saying that he quoted wrong, the cost would be over $600. I don’t even really know how much over $600, just kind of blanked out at that point.
First he said he would give me 10% off. I said he needed to go up the food chain because this does not work. He finally came up with a price of somewhere north of $500. I just gave up because I was just tired of the whole process.
Then I made the mistake of asking him about the engine light issue. He said it was a catalytic converter problem, $2600 to fix that. We both agreed there are less expensive options. But they have a $90 look and see fee, which they charge if you do not decide to let them do the work. That seems like extortion to me. Well it not only seems that way it is. The fee does not just apply to the whole invoice , as the paper I signed said, it is each job. He is going to be nice and only charge me half the fee.
I started a letter to John Voss to let him know my dissatisfaction. When this ends I will get it in the mail.
