Fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice . . . Let me start by saying I applaud Woodie's for doing a Freon fill before suggesting more expensive repairs on the AC system on my car. Still $618 in diagnosis and repairs later and my car still isn't fixed. One member of the staff was rude, condescending and arrogant. In the past we had taken a car for repair, and while it was repaired properly, my wife felt like they were rude and condescending. Regardless it's our neighborhood garage so we figured we would give it another go.
We brought the car in for three issues, AC not cooling, check engine light, and a tire problem. The only thing we were not prepared to do was buy a new set of tires. After the diagnosis, they called me back with estimates to do a dyed Freon fill (to diagnose a leak in the system), four new tires and to fix the problem causing the check engine light. It would appear though that the person I spoke with to approve the repairs took my rejection of the tires as "don't repair the check engine light either" and thin sing-songily informed my wife when she came to pick up the car that I knew better than he when it came to fixing cars. There was a note on the invoice that the "repair" may not keep the light off which of course it didn't because it wasn't in fact repaired.
