I'm so mad I could bite the heads off two penny nails and spit out thumbtacks!!!!!! I hate crooked car dealerships and hate crooked repair shops even more. I bought new tires for my car on September 21 last year, I remember well cause it was my son's birthday. Car started to wobble about a month ago. Had oil change on Saturday June 13 at @Westgate Kia in Wake Forest. Told them the issue. Manager John, drove the car around the building, came back and said confidently 'You need tires' I said okay, what's wrong with mine. The mechanic said, my boss said you need new tires, something about the belting. They refused to do the rotation as I need new tires. Told him I was taking them back to Walmart as they had never done me wrong. Went into Walmart on Monday June 15. They checked the tires etc. came back and said nothing wrong, the dealership is trying to make me spend more money. But have it checked out by someone else as they only do oil changes and tires at Walmart. Asked the mechanic at work. He thinks it's the CV's, 2-3 hundred for parts and a couple hours labor. Called another reputable place @AVEC Service Center in Raleigh, close to work, convenient. He says they want $155 to take it for a test drive and diagnostic and I can tell you right now, it's your transmission and it's gonna run you around 6-7000 dollars. Stopped at a mechanic's place on the way home. He test drove it and came back with the diagnosis of replace 2 CV's, buuuuut you can only get the parts at the dealership and they want $1078 and he'll only charge $400 for labor and the dealership needs a deposit so he needs a deposit so he can pay the dealership. I said how about if I come in and pay the deposit directly to the dealership with my debit card instead of two transactions. He says stop back tomorrow or the next day and we'll work something out. Are there any honest people out there? I am a 72 year old lady that must have a tattoo on her head that reads, 'I'm a simple and slow old lady, Please take advantage of me. If I could give this dealership repair shop a minus it would be a minus ten.
