My wife took My Saab 9-5 in to SkandiaTek Saab as the blinkers suddenly stopped working.
SkandiaTek told us that we had to pay them $200 as the blinker arm (believe it or not), needed replacing.
We agreed to pay this but the next day, SkandiaTek Saab told us that we then had to pay $480 to have the problem fixed, as the problem was now the DICE Unit, and not the blinker arm.
By this time, this company had already performed $180 worth of other so called essential maintenance without actually fixing the problem that we had taken it to them for.
At this stage I grew suspicious, especially as they had charged us $60 for a diagnostics test.
I took the Saab to a proper dealer who informed me that the problem was in fact a short in the wiring system which kept blowing the fuse out. They fixed the problem for $120 that same day.
I highly recommenD that you take your car to a proper dealership, rather than one who tries to charge for things that do not require fixing, then have the cheek to turn around and say that it was not their fault, but the diagnostics test. And that mechanics make mistakes too.
"yes it is ok to make a mistake, but not at the expense of another individual, and especially when that individual places their trust in you and ends up out of pocket as a result"
