im just tired of people slamming dealerships. there are plenty of reputable independant shops, just less than more. i cant tell you how many vehicles get towed to us in pieces from local shops. the estimate you recieved is things that the tech saw on your vehicle that need attention, not a threat, or repairs you have to do. people are in business to make money, thats the point. ive worked goddam hard to get to the skill level i am at now, countless hours of training, not ase crap that anyone can study and pass, and when i see uncle joe jim bob down the street take a customer through the ringer it pisses me off to hear dealerships get slammed. i see things alot of these places do everyday that we the "thieving" dealership have to fix because noone else can figure them out. as i said before there are plenty of reputable repair shops around dont get me wrong, but remember where these shops send the cars when they cant fix them.
