Over the phone, the agent quoted $991.00 for a repair. When I mentioned a second place quoting blindly at $500, this agent managed to reduce his bid to $663.69. I did not see that as "satisfying the customer". Why couldn't he charge that in the first place?? When I decided it was worth it to tow the vehicle to another location, the agent tried to charge me a diagnostic fee, which he had never before mentioned. At this point, I was afraid to agree to anything over the phone, because imagine how he would manipulate the final bill! Honestly, Honest 1 could not be more slimy and crooked. At least they have a great waiting room though, right? I sincerely hope that that agent is just one bad apple in the bushel.
We are sorry that you did not have a satisfactory experience. It is difficult to quote estimates over the phone as we have not seen the vehicle. Prices can vary dramatically based on inspections. We prefer to inspect the vehicle before giving estimate. That way, you know exactly what is needed. We realize that customers such as yourself want to know how much it cost before bringing a vehicle, but keep in mind, phone quotes can vary depending on how an adviser guess at your vehicle concerns. We do not do any work without your approval, and we offer 3 year 36,000 miles nationwide warranty. We hope you give us another opportunity to serve you better. Peter Lee, owner
