I visited the rip off garage last week for a NYS inspection. I decided to use this garage because I found a coupon in the phone book for $10 off a NYS inspection. After completing the inspection I was approached with a $470.00 bill for repairs on a car that was only 4 years old. I told them they were out of their minds!
They concluded that I needed new brakes and new rotors to mention a few. Well, my brakes were replaced by the dealer not more than 6 months ago, both front and rear rotors were not scored and completely shiny. I agreed that the front brake pads needed to be replaced and the mechanic said that it would be $50 for the brakes plus $40 installation, now the place had a sign in front for a $50 brake job, yeah right. He failed my inspection and said that those parts must be replaced. I was furious there was no way that this car needed $470 worth of repairs and sent us on our way wiout a temporary inspection sticker, which means if I got pulled over by an officer it would be a $75 fine. I went for a second opinion at the dealer I bought the car from. Note, I had to pay again for the inspection! The dealer did agree that the front brake pads needed to be replaced. He gladly replaced the front pads for only $25 and said that the car was in impecable condition. Valu Brake and Muffler is a scam!
