| - Here is the thing.... when a mechanic tries to skate a cabin air filter change by you for $69.95? It becomes impossible to trust them for anything else. The video on YouTube to change the filter is 1:40 long. The part is $13.00 on Amazon.
When I asked about this, and explained that overcharging like this made it impossible to trust their other recommendations, Robert, the service writer, just shrugged. Asked to speak to the owner, who said, "I'm not running a charity."
You also are not running an honest business if you charge $45 in labor for a two minutes job. It makes it impossible to trust the recommendations for tire balance and wheel rotation for another $69.95, and a $59.95 engine air filter.
Oh, and Fox News blaring in the lobby. Nope. Delighted to take our business elsewhere. Too bad, because they came highly recommended in the Coronado neighborhood.
Oh. And the car is a 2016 Honda Accord with 8,000 miles on it, getting second oil change.
****UPDATE****
Owner called to whine about the review. Twice. Get a life, dude. No one makes a purchase until value exceeds price. No one likes to be upsold when the contract for a simple service.
