WARNING: DO NOT GO TO CARX CAR X
I took my girlfriend's car to car x for brake service. They quoted me $120 estimate over the phone. I figured it might be a little more, maybe in the neighborhood of $200 or so. I know car x is expensive. After waiting for about 15 minutes the mechanic came and took me out to the shop to show me that all four sets of brakes and rotors had to be replaced, and the cost would be $500.00!!! I told him there was no way I could afford that, and that he should just put the wheels back on the car as there was no way I had that kind of money!! He then tells me that my girlfriend called him a few days before and to go ahead and fix the car!! LOL LOL LOL!!!! I looked at him and thought, is he out of his mind? My gf is one of those easy going laid back blonde girls that don't do that kind of thing untill the wheels fall off the car!! I said to him, you have the wrong person, it was me who called and who suggested this place. He then continued to suggest that indeed he talked to my gf and that she wanted him to fix her car. HA!! I said, no, I don't think it was her, I said, it's one of those wouldn't call in a million years type of deal. He put the wheels back on the car, I thanked him and I left. She then took it to a small mechanic in another town who fixed it for less than $120.00 and all he did was turn the rear rotors and replace the rear pads. I guess I should have expected this, but I like to give people the benefit of the doubt. Anyway, be careful and do not go to car x or any of those chains, nothing but con men running those places.
