I brought my car into Tires Plus in Noblesville because my engine light came on. I was surprised that the light came on since the car was running good and had no leaks to speak of. I had also just had the car in for routine maintenance at another automotive company 3 months prior to in which they said the car was in great condition.in addition to diagnosing the engine light I also asked that they change the oil and rotate the tires After the car was looked at by Tires Plus Alan came over to give me the details. According to Alan the following services were needed: - Replacement of intake manifold - Replacement of master cylinder - Replacement of brake booster - Replacement of power steering pump - Replacement of ball joints - Alignment - Replacement of spark plugs - Replacement of fuel filter - Fuel system tune up Total cost of service - $1,858.78 (a great deal according to Alan) According to Alan these were all common issues with this car and not unusual. I opted to not have those repairs done and took my car to the Ford dealer for a 2nd opinion. After a 30 minute diagnostic they came back to tell me the engine light was being caused by a cracked PCV hose. Repair costs for this $28.00. I also informed them of the other services Tires Plus and Alan claimed were needed. They did a thorough inspection and found that the car was in exceptional condition and was in no need of other services. Tires Plus of Noblesville and Alan are CROOKS!!! Run as fast as you can from that place and hold onto your wallet. P.S. The tires were not rotated either as I had requested and paid for. Run
