Legality? If he gave the ok for all that work to be done, he has no legal standing.

Keep in mind this vehicle was bought off of craigslist and had to have maintenance 3 days after he started driving it because it broke down. There were probably numerous mechanical problems not mentioned by the craigslist seller, I assume most of the work done on the bill was preventative maintenance.

did you okay all of it?

Before a shop can do work that would cost you more than originally quoted, they have to ask you if it's okay to go ahead and do it.  Did you seriously okay a $500 'axle shaft seal'?


You took it to Midas?? Yeah, you got screwed, bad. I'm not sure what kind of car you have, but the brakes themselves shouldn't have been more then $250-300 tops, including parts. When I had the front brakes on my Lexus done a few weeks ago, it was $385 including pads, rotors and calipers (calipers were seizing) along with the labor. The calipers were more expensive than the labor. If they had not needed replaced, it would have been just $189 for the brake job. I'd be interested in looking up the parts for your car at an auto parts store and finding out just how much they marked them up.

I laughed at "shop supplies charge." What the forget is that? If the shop doesn't have the supplies to fix your car that's their own fault, they shouldn't charge you for their incompetency.

The shop supplies charge is to cover the cost of miscellaneous fluids and parts they use that aren't included in the normal charges along with the environmental fee, which pretty much every mechanic I've been to has.

"the last thing you need is a guy giving you a new catalytic converter when all you have is a loose gas cap. Take it over to Midas for the good ol' Midas touch."

i was hoping for a weird story about tezuni getting raped by a mechanic but instead i get this

its better to just fix it yourself lol

I laughed at "shop supplies charge."
What the forget is wrong with you

Tools/supplies is part of a business expense. We charge pilots if we ever have to buy tools for their airplanes lol. And 20% on top of all the parts charges. You have to make a profit somehow. You wouldn't make jack stuff if you just charged for your hours.

its better to just fix it yourself lol
If you have little to no experience working on cars or anything for that matter this is not true at all.
