5 Trans. Flu -36.80
1 valve p.C. -16.80
Total parts -228.27
Total labor -271.68
Total cost -499.95
I also received a 20% discount because of a coupon.
I believe that they did not upgrade everything they stated on the brochure for the 30,000 mile major service. There are no mentions of new spark plugs on the parts list, one wiper blade, etc. It seems as if they just say they are going to do all these on the list. Then they just fix a few things, charge them on the invoice and charge more than half for labor so that they can make the money themselves. Please someone help! Why didn't they list the spark plugs? Did they not install new ones as it says on the brochure? I feel like I paid $400 for an oil change and for them to replace my wipers. If anyone worked there or knows of any corruption with this company... Please contact me.
