What should have been a $500 visit at max, cost $758!!!!
15k mile service and brake service. Since we had a 2001 disco prior to our 2004, we knew the pads wore out fast. on our last sched. service i asked them to inspect the brakes in advance and they said you have more than enough to last to your next service. So my mother kept driving.
Well this time around our checkbook was ready to replace all 4 pads. well not only did they replace the rear pads, they also replaced the rotors! saying they were worn! This could have been prevented if they just replaced the pads on my last visit.
The statement also shows "the front tires have 30% left, still ok!" Hm, so by my next scheduled visit i guess i will need both front pads and rotors AGAIN!!! Prestige has just lost our family's business forever! We bought two cars from them and this is what they do to us? Add to this $100/hour for labor!
Brake pad set for rear $121.83
Rotor Rear $98.53 X 2
Wiper blade assembly $46.90
Wiper Blades $10
Brake flush kit $49.95
Total parts: $425.75
Total Labor: $290.00
Does anyone here know of any private mechanics near GW Bridge who wont stick it to us like Prestige? :mad:
