Seems to me a lot of places of business these days just try and squeeze every penny out of their customers and give you minimal service. And I know dealerships charge more, but recently I had a real eye opening experience. I needed to get a starter and my front brake pads replaced in my 2017 Honda. My go to dealership wanted to charge $2300 for the starter and $500 to refurbish ONE brake pad! With the oil change it would have been 3K! I picked Evergreen because of the good reviews. Spoke to Nick. Not only was he super knowledgeable, he was very friendly and answered all my questions. I could tell he loves his job, is interested in helping people fix their cars, and is interested in doing it for a fair price. He quoted me $859 for the starter and REPLACED not refurbish BOTH front pads for $550. They did a few other things like changing multiple filters , and replacing the brake fluid because of debris in it (fyi they had pictures). They did all that extra work and it was still a few hundred dollars cheaper than $2000. Starter was $2300 alone at the dealership! They even took me home around 8:30 and picked me up the same day around 2. The dealership needed till the next day. It’s really hard to find a business that you always spend a lot of money at, not questioning if you are getting ripped off. Most auto places I’ve gone to have always left me feeling dirty. Can honestly say this is the first where it was absolutely the opposite. FOLLOW UP: my car runs better than it has in a while. Used to squeak when I would go over the gutter in front my driveway. Since they worked on it, I haven’t heard any squeaking. Not sure why? But can’t complain about the results. 😀
Thank you Mr. Churchill!! I appreciated all the information you gave us to help us fix your vehicle, so we could get the vehicle back to you in the same day. We are also happy to know about the pricing between us and the dealership. Happy we got rid of the squeak :D Look forward to working with you and your vehicles in the future! -Nick
