| - I came here again to have routine maintenance and an oil change performed on my car. This time around, I was not satisfied with the experience bc I felt that they overcharged for their services and also they recommended services that I did not actually need. Of course, I did not know this at the time, being unknowledgeable about cars, but I told my boyfriend about everything afterwards (he used to work as a mechanic) and he told me never to go there again.
First, he told me that although they recommended that I clean out my throttle, it most likely did not need that as my car only has 20,000 miles on it, and something like usually doesn't happen until you have many more miles on your car. Also they charged $80 for that, which he said was way too much. This wasn't even a recommended service for the 20,000 mile maintenance (which is what I had asked them to do), according to the owners manual.
They also charged $70 for replacing the cabin air filter, which I felt was a lot.
My boyfriend said they probably saw that I was a female so they just recommended stuff I didn't need. That is always my concern when going to a mechanic, and it sucks that they do that here. My boyfriend takes his car to Tempe Auto, so that is probably what I will do in the future.
The good things about this place is that their waiting room is pretty comfortable, and they show HGTV on the TV which is pretty entertaining.
