Johnny B's Pro Lube
Attempted fraud/unnecessary repairs

This was my only experience with johhny B's. What was supposed to be a $30 oil change morphed into a $123 dollar bill for add-ons that I didn't know I needed. I should have asked what each thing costs, but didn't, so on the oil change issue, I take responsibility.

Here's the fraud. I asked them to look at the front brakes because a light was coming on. They said that I needed to change the front brake pads because the pads would begin eating into the rotors soon. The manager told me it would be $220, but he would knock it down to $189 if I did it that day.

I was suspicious in the wake of the magically growing oil change so I told him I would come in next week, he gave me an estimate for the work (that I still have) and then I left.

I called my regular mechanic, they said for replacing front brake pads they would charge $125. However, after I dropped it off, they called me and said that all the brake pads were like new and there wasn't any point in changing them. I gladly paid them $16 for their honesty (I would have paid more but that's all they wanted).

In conclusion, Johhny B's Pro Lube tried to rip me off. I would urge anyone in the area to avoid them.
