I've used Ted Wiens before and have had no problems. Plus, I have their little sticker coupon book so I wanted to take advantage of my discount.. But when I called to check up on the status of the oil change for my Lexy on Friday I was notified that in addition to the oil change, I was in desperate need of 2 new front brake pads, 2 new front rotors, 2 new rear tires and that my heating hose needed to be re-clamped because it was leaking.. I asked how much it would all be and was told it would be over $1000 :X FML but then I was told I would be given a little discount because of my coupon book bringing it down to around $975. Told them that I would think about it and call them back.
I called another auto shop in the area to compare prices and was shocked when they told me that they would charge me a flat rate of $650. So I paid for the oil-change ($48 Synthetic Blend & that's with the $10 discount because my car holds 7 quarts of oil or something like that lol) and took my car down a few blocks to the other shop... While driving, I noticed Ted Wiens didn't even replace my next due oil change sticker and then later I found out that they rotated the rear tire on the right side of my car to the front (only the right side & not the left) which is very dangerous because they are 2 different sizes! UGH!
The sales representative at Ted Wiens, Christian, has always been super nice but I can't help but feel those prices were a bit of a rip off.
