Auto Repair Estimates

The Top 3 Crimes

#1 Car repair estimates are designed to hide the true charges for your repairs

#2 Part prices are frequently billed higher than MSRP. Both OEM and aftermarket parts

#3 Labor costs are grossly exaggerated. $100 per hour can equal $150, despite the posted shop labor rate

DID YOU KNOW: government data, multiple studies, undercover sting operations, and consumer advocate groups reveal that 98% of all car repair customers pay too much for auto repair.

Mr. Greenberg,

You stated that the air flow sensor was not replaced, it was the "air fuel ratio sensor" that was. In fact, you said that I refused replacement of the air flow sensor yet I was charged $135.00 for "replace air flow sensor" The engine was not running rough nor was it running lean or rich. How can I trust that the air fuel ratio sensor needed to be replaced when all that was needed was cleaning of the MAF and check engine light to be reset due to a dirty MAF due to my after market True Flow air filter that uses filter oil.

Nowhere on my bill does it indicate hours spent and shop hourly rate. I would like this information because I am going to have to scrutinize the entire bill because what you stated does not reflect what is indicated on the bill nor what I recall the shop informing me about (denial of service?)
