| - I'm so disappointed in this place. I recently purchased a new used vehicle that apparently had a security alarm issue. Every time I opened the door, the damn alarm would go off. The alarm fob did not work, despite new batteries. I couldn't find a kill switch, so the only way I could turn it off was by putting the key in the ignition and turning it to the "on" position.
I stopped by this place after work, with new title and plate in hand, and asked how hard it would be to disable the alarm, for the time being at least, until I had more time to deal with the issue. He offered to secure my plate, then said, let us take a look. Less than 5 minutes later, they were so sure they solved the problem by simply pulling the fuse, then wanted to charge me $40 for doing so.
When I objected since they spent less than 5 minutes on the issue, I was then lectured on how I was paying for their knowledge and expertise, when in fact all they they did was pull a fuse and fasten a license plate, (the license plate, which I did not ask them to do, they offered). He then asked how much I thought the service was worth, which I really didn't think was was worth anything, but I just slipped him a $20 just so I could be done with the deal.
As it turns out, just pulling the fuse did not work. I made two more stops after leaving, and the alarm went off again, but stopped on it's own. Later in the evening, after getting home, I forgot something in the truck. Once again, the alarm went off. This time though, despite inserting the key to "on" position, it would not turn off until I reinserted the fuse.
So "geniuses", I suspect you need to go back to school. For what you did, that should have been a good faith gesture, in hopes that I would bring my vehicle back for when I needed real repairs. But since you only thought you fixed the problem and tried to gouge me in the process, trust me, I will never come back to you again.
Fortunately, I found someone who actually did fix the problem, and only charged me $20 to do so! Put this up on your wall!!
