It's really hard to find an honest shop. Having lived in many parts of the country this place is the worst I've seen. Not only do they try to up sale you on everything there rates are over the top.

At a recent oil change they said I need new shocks in the rear. Since the truck has 180k miles on it I thought it was possible. When I found out what they wanted I was shocked. $319.00 to replace just the rear shocks. I first thought they quoted me for all four, but it was for just the rear. Those things must have been gold plated.

I hadn't worked on my own vehicle in a long time so I went down to the local parts store and bought two quality shocks and installed them myself. Total install time was 30 minutes and not even having the proper tools. On a rack in a store this shouldn't take over 15 minutes.

By the way I will be going somewhere else to get my service.
