My car broke down in Knoxville, TN. I was on my way from Rochester, NY to Cleveland, TN. AAA was great and took me, my son and my 2001 Dodge Stratus to the only AAA certified garage in Cleveland, Top Tech Automotive 2417 Thompson Lane Cleveland, TN NW 37311. Total cost for engine repair $1,181.62. Here is a breakdown:
1. An A/C compressor-USED compressor kit $598.63
And belt $58.99
Labor $94.63
2. Expansion valve removal and replace-labor $73.92
3. A/C receiver drier, renew-labor $76.98
4. Evacuate and recharge A/C system includes pulling vacuum-parts $74.88
Labor $78.98
Totals Labor $324.51
USED parts-$732.50
Shop/Environmental fee-$19.64
Sales tax-$104.97
I paid cash and asked if I could get a discount, the answer was no. Also, no discount for having AAA.
Since this was the only garage that was approved by AAA, I agreed to take it there. After being ripped off by being charged exorbitant fees, I wouldnt recommend Top Tech Automotive at all.
