Well i got my results for my safety back, yeah, they changed my light bulf for my license plate while it was there, so after that and the safety test i got a nice bill of $233......i asked for what?? changing a light bulb?? All i need is tires then my baby can be road ready. I couldnt belive the bill though, its just nuts what these guy can charge

 

$233 to cahnge a light bulb????? What else did they do? I would tell 'em to **** him self for that price.

 

That's why you never tell a mechanic to just fix whatever is wrong. I never tell anyone to do anything BUT specifically what I wanted done. If they do other **** then I consider that a free gift since I never told them they could do it, or that I wanted it done.

 

man i think they just "kinda" took advantage of me cause im 17, like **** man last time i got something done the mechanic asked if i wanted him to do specific things to the car.....ahh man i was pissed

but you know thats 233 canadian, so in america isnt that like....i dunno what is it these days 12 dollars?

 

Did he give you a receipt saying what he did or explain at all what was done to the car? And it's $2.50 american.

 

gave a recipt saying what was done

 

I'd check and make sure he actually did what he said he did first off. Second off give specific permission when your car goes in the shop. I know around here if I put my car in the shop and they do extra things that I never asked for then I don't have to pay for it. It's like driving by someone's house, washing it, then telling them they owe you $200 when they never asked you to do it....

 

So the only thing on the bill is the light bulb? Does CA make you pay for the safety test? Geez. I would've gotten a lawyer just out of principle- and never go back to that shop again!

 

Sry, non tech.
