VOLVO OF HAMILTON 57 RYMAL ROAD WEST, HAMILTON ONTARIO

BE VERY CAREFUL DONT LET THEM REBUILD YOUR CAR FROM THE GROUND UP WHAT EVER THEY QUOTE YOU THEY WILL TRY TO CHARGE YOU DOUBLE

I BROUGHT IN MY 1994 VOLVO 850 TURBO WAGON TO HAVE A CAM SHAFT SENSOR, REAR CAM SEAL AND TURBO W/ EXHAUST INSTALLED (I PROVIDED) PLUS OIL CHANGE , DRIVER TILT CABLE, TOP ENGINE MOUNT BUSHING (PROVIDED) AND REPLACE THE TURBO DRAIN LINE
WAS QUOTED $850

THE TECH CALLS ME ..YOU NEED A DRIVER SIDE WHEEL BEARING..THEY TELL ONLY EXTRA $360 PARTS AND LABOUR TOTAL
AND TELLS ME YEA IT WILL BE DONE TODAY A LITTLE AFTER 3PM

HOUR LATER I GET ASKED IF I CAN GET PICKED UP TOMORROW AND YOUR CAR WILL BE READY BY NOON
NO PICK ME UP NOW

GUESS WHAT SOME HOW THEY IGNORD MY $1300 MAX LIMIT AND RAN THE $850 JOB UP TO $1586.78
I TELL THEM WHAT ABOUT 10% ABOVE ESTIMATE?

SO HE SAYS FINE BUT DONT COME BACK PAID QUOTED $850 PLUS EXTRA $360 TOTAL $1210 THEY GOT ME WITH MY GUARD DOWN

AND THEY NEVER GOT AROUND TO THE DRIVER TILT CABLE AND FORGOT THE OILCHANGE

SO THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN ANOTHER $220

BUT THE GUY IN FRONT OF ME WHEN I DROPPED OFF GOT A 2500 BILL OUT OF 1200 AND HE GOT THE SAME OVER THE PHONE TECH SUCKER MOVE


I SHOULD HAVE SAID NO AND TAKEN IT TO ANOTHER MECHANIC FOR A SECOND LOOK FIRST
