On November 6th the belt in my 1992 Saturn stripped on my way to work. I pulled into West Oakland Park Mobil, which is one minute walk from my home.
They were about to close, so I was informed to full out a work order and leave my car there.
I asked for an estimation, and was told it should not cost more than $30 for labour and a belt total. So I filled out the work order and left my car.
Next morning I recieved a call form them, stating that the belt costs $45 dollars and labour would be about $30. The guy assured me that was the price for the belt, and needing my car for work I agreed.
Before picking up the car I checked prices online and by phone, and found out I was paying three times the amount for the belt, which would be about $16 and I was schemed into paying $44.45 for the belt and $24 for labour.
In total I paid $72.56 after tax for this. Please do something about these people who ripoff poor people like myself.
