I brought my car back the other day to get my much needed work done and the payment plan was the best option. My application came back approved pretty quick. I arrived at the shop right at 7am and originally had planned to go home, but decided to wait it out. They got my car in right away and were done is about 3 hours.
I always hesitate when going to a new mechanic because I think they will talk me into work that I don't really need, but that was not the case. My check engine light is on (has been for about two years) and they write all the codes down that they got from it. When the manager asked if I wanted to get all of them checked out that day (it would take 2-3 hours) I didn't feel pressured when I said no. He understood because of the time and additional expense but let me know that I won't pass emissions so to get it done soon.
I forgot to use my 10% off yelp check in deal but I can use it when I take my car back to have the diagnosis done for all of the other issues. When I mentioned that I forgot to use it, he let me know that they gave me some discounts anyway. After looking over my receipt it was about 10%, which was a nice savings.
