First off we were told that the $861.00 would be taken off the final total if we had the repairs done there, it was never taken off. Secondly, we were told if we paid for the repairs up front we would get a $25.00 coupon off of the fluid for the transmission. After looking at the itemized invoice we asked for the coupon was never applied. After looking at the invoice and talking with several other repair shops that said it should take no more than 8 actual man hours to remove and replace the transmission in our car we came up with the figure of 180.00 an hour for labor which is highway robbery from what we have been told. I have tried to talk to the manager or owner about this but every time I ask to speak to them the call gets disconnect. The total we paid for a new transmission was $3,571.11 and after reading the invoice carefully we found out it was a reconditioned transmission not a new one. They over charged us by 886.00, when I brought this to the attention of the ladies up front they tried to talk circles around me and throw odd numbers at me and acted confused by the simple math and flat denied telling us that the $861.00 would be subtracted from the total if we got the repairs done there. In short they ripped us off and then the car died on the drive home! It finally started again and we got it home but if it continues we will take it some place else.
