The labor cost for a brake change was excessively high.

Business reply on Google

Hi Mari, thanks for sharing your experience with us. We definitely hear your feedback regarding the cost of labor. We strive to deliver high-quality work, offer a 2-year warranty on all of our work, and use reliable, manufacturer-approved parts, which can sometimes result in a higher cost compared to other shops. However, we also know that an expensive job needs to be clearly communicated! Your suggestion to ask about the labor price upfront is excellent., and we sincerely apologize if we didn't do a great job of explaining the full itemized estimate to you before we started the repairs. We are reviewing our quoting process to make sure this is never overlooked. We hope to have the chance to earn a five-star review from you in the future!
