"Flynn's Tire tried to charge me $1,600 for a $300 repair. \nMy steering wheel was beginning to feel rigid and difficult to turn. I checked my power steering fluid and saw that it was very low. I topped it off, but my steering wheel issues persisted. I took my car to Flynn's because I had previously received tires and an oil change from them at a fair price. Jeff informed me that the joint on my intermediate shaft was rusted out and would need to be replaced. He went on to say that because of this he would also need to replace my entire steering rack. Additionally, this would require him to replace my tie rod ends and my power steering pressure hose. Further, without telling me he added in a power steering fluid flush (despite me just adding all new fluid myself) - Note that they charge $80 to do this, when it cost me $4 to do it myself. He also added an $80 alignment. This all came to a total of $1,612.22 see attached photo of receipt.\nMy dad, who is incredibly handy with cars but unfortunately lives far away, thought this seemed suspicious. He had me take my car to Meineke in Parma. I did not inform them of my experience with Flynn's, and just said I needed them to diagnose my steering problem. They said the exact same thing as Jeff from Flynn's: My intermediate shaft joint was rusted and needed to be replaced. And that was it. Cost me $331.07 see attached photo of receipt. They replaced it quickly, and it drives just like new. Afterwards I mentioned to them my experience with Flynn's and they confirmed that I absolutely did not need to replace any of the other parts they added to the list nor did I need a power steering flush or alignment.\nI cannot believe this man was going to con me into spending $1,600! Unbelievable. I will never go back there again, and I have already warned all my local friends of their shady ways. FYI the orange highlighting on the receipts shows the only two things that SHOULD have been charged: the intermediate shaft part and the labor costs."^^ . "1"^^ . "0"^^ .
