Big mistake on my part. As it turns out I need new struts. I was given a quote of $2400 for struts and new tires. I turned that down when I figured out I could get better tires from Tirerack shipped and installed and do the new struts myself for $800. So all that was done was a synthetic oil change and filter for $74. At check out I told the clerk I had a coupon from the corporate web page for $18 off, he told me he had already taken a $25 discount. I had a coupon from a competitor for $49 for a full synthetic change and he told me they don't honor competitors coupons. Upon returning home I found on the corporate website that it is company policy to accept competitors coupons plus give you an additional 5% off. Beware, they lie and overcharge. I told them I would not be back. They said no big deal, we're a for profit business, we don't need your business. MAKE IT A BIG DEAL. We have choices. Go elsewhere

Hi, I had a similar experience with an independent garage door technician, I mean door ripoff specialist. He said his work was guaranteed for 6 months but in 4 months I called for service and he said no, only 3 months., He really screwed up and it turned out that the door problem was worse after he did his job. A long story. Be careful with the independents, they can really mess up bigtime so we will see. Wondering if the Atty General for Florida will do anything.
