I had a car towed in to Kettering Auto at my expense on a very cold day (around 10 degrees) as the car would not crank. When I picked it up, they billed me $223 for a batter. $99 for the battery, $60 for installation and the remainder for 'diagnosis' and tax. I argued that Sears would have done the work for about $100 and he said that he is not Sears and that is better than Sears. Better at bogus billing as far as I can see.
He looked over the invoice and said that it was cheap and if he wrote up the bill, it would have been about $30 dollars HIGHER! This guy is was tough to deal with and refused to lower his price.
Based on my experience, I recommend that you pass on this guy so you don't get ripped off too. If he was a Dr. I could see him having a full CAT scan done if you went in with a stubbed toe.
