Auto Tech III

Please, do NOT bring your car here!!! When the new guys took over we were excited because they seemed real, honest and friendly. We do not know what happened to them but it has all changed… we miss the previous owner very badly because this was the only place we took our cars to. Never again!!! They quoted my husband $ 13 – 1400 for a clutch job and upon research of over seven different places, every last one of those mechanics told us we were being ripped off!!! Obviously we took it somewhere else where we are getting the same work for literally HALF the price! While this is an expensive job, no one should be allowed to financially rape you. I have written complaints about this to BBB and even state legislatures to think about putting restriction laws on garages and what they charge. This is often a huge scam and even worse for women!!!

It started as a photo inspection for insurance purposes, which is from what I can tell the bulk of Carl & Crew’s business; however, I made the mistake of thinking, «Oh, while I’m here I might as well get a NYS inspection-it’s pretty standard, and anybody can do it. Right?»
Things didn’t go well. But it should have stopped the minute it didn’t go well. Is it not common sense, that you call the customer before you do anything that is going to increase the costs!?!
I had no idea he was going to charge me 65.00 to drive the car around the block a couple of times so as to reset the monitor on a CEL that fired during inspection. All he would have needed to do was call me and give me more details, and I would have been able to tell him I have a modded intake and I need to remove it. Then he has the balls to charge me $ 32.50 for a light switch «behind the clutch». So in total a $ 21 job, cost me $ 127.33.
And I noticed the the next day that the tech dinged my door during his joy rides!
