The Insane High Cost of Auto Repair Took in 2008 Civic Hybrid with 68,000 miles due to a/c knocking. Initial estimate of $700 turned in to $4800 with Gunn saying a/c unit was "contaminat Took in 2008 Civic Hybrid with 68,000 miles due to a/c knocking. Initial estimate of $700 turned in to $4800 with Gunn saying a/c unit was "contaminated". Did not do repair, gave negative feedback thru e-mail to service manager but did not hear from him until I posted a negative review on Dealerrater. I filed complaint of total a/c failure at 68,000 miles with Honda Corporation asking them to cover the $4800 repair. I cited owning 4 Honda's (started buying 2002). The Gunn Service Manager Steve contacted Honda Corporation and got them to cover 50% of the repairs (better than nothing). In the mean time, sensor in hybrid system went out and now told it would cost $2300 for that repair. Service Advisor took $400 off the labor cost, still $1900 to repair. Added it to my complaint with Honda; as a "good will gesture" Honda offered to pay 50% again. Helpful but still looking at over $3000 for 2 repairs. I believe repair costs by all shops are greatly inflated because they all use "the book" that tells them the supposed "average time" to do a repair. If the book says 12 hours, they charge for 12 hours even if it only takes them 6 hours (the theory is if it takes more than 12 hours they only charge you 12 hours but does that ever happen?)...compare the "billed/charged" labor hours in a day to the hours all the mechanics worked and I believe you would be shocked. Gunn service people do as all shops do but they do it with a smile. More

100K maintenance Dropped my 2008 Civic in for its 100K mile maintenance (A14). I did not make an appointment before hand but Donny was able to work me in. They also fo Dropped my 2008 Civic in for its 100K mile maintenance (A14). I did not make an appointment before hand but Donny was able to work me in. They also found and repaired some minor oil leaks that cropped up due to the age of the vehicle, e.g. valve gasket. All of this was accomplished without having to leave the car overnight which would have been a major pain. I typically use the dealer for everything on the car with the exception of my last set of tires. I know that the prices are a bit higher than an independent repair shop BUT I know that the dealer has the proper tools and parts and people trained to work on my vehicle. I can also get the job fixed if something goes wrong - which has not happened. More
