What's up with mechanics? How much can they markup parts? What if they put in a part I didn't even need? Scam?
I broke the belt in my 91 saab 9000s. They put in a belt tensioner ($216) a belt shock ($154) a pulley ($59) and the belt ($84). With labor, a bill of $967 seems ridiculous. Yes, they showed me some broken pulleys, but they didn't show me the belt shock or belt tensioner. I don't even know if these were necessary, but he installed them. Plus, they NEVER called to tell me how much it was going to cost before they did the work and never answered the phone when I called them. Am I getting scammed?
I'm not sure what a belt shock is... though we don't get many 91 Saab's in my shop anymore.
The parts may all well have been needed - I didn't inspect the vehicle so I don't kow. But if you never gave prior authorization for the repairs, were never told what was needed or how much it was going to cost before the work was done, then there is a real problem. I would at least use that as a negotiating point. Of course, if you have already paid for and picked up the vehicle, its probably too late.
