In this day and age I felt that competition is fierce, especially in the auto repair market. Not at Gaudin! I brought a car to their service department to do a minor repair. Although I pointed them to the problem, they still performed some "diagnostic testing". The repair was completed in a timely manner and I haven't had reason to bring it back because it wasn't done right.
HOWEVER, here is the rip off. You probably had cars repaired at 1-off places (Ted Wiens, Big O, etc) who also performed diagnostic testing for a fee. Should you get your car repaired there the diagnostic fee is applied to the repair bill.
NOT AT GAUDIN.
Their diagnostic testing costs significantly over $100 and is NOT applied towards the repair. Wait, WHAT????
Let me see.....for the privledge of having my car repaired (at a premium cost I might add) at their center I nees to pay an ADDITIONAL $100+ just to "Diagnose"??? Do they need the money THAT badly to rape us for over $100??? Or is this their view of competition??? Help me understand this.... so, until this additional charge is justified I, for one, will NEVER again visit "Gaudin Anything". I suggest you do the same.
