"Thanks for the kind words my friend. We're glad you gave us the opportunity to earn your business and help save you a lot of money. Thanks again for taking the time to provide feedback about our auto repair shop in Plainfield Illinois and for letting others know what were all about."
I originally took my car in because my car started stalling while I was driving, and had stalled several times while in the middle of a left turn. I had taken my car to the dealership with no success in determining the cause of the problem. The dealership suggested I replace the transmission, but wasn't sure if this would solve the problem. Last Chance Auto is reasonably close to my home, so I decided to take it there because I could walk the miles home if the car stalled.
At first, I truly believed in these guys. They seemed to know their stuff, and told me (of course) that the dealership knows little about these kinds of issues with their cars. After testing my car and some diagnosis, they determined it could be the transmission (this would be expensive), but they could try cleaning the throttle body in lieu of doing major work. Additionally, they had found I had a bad wheel bearing. I wasn't surprised about the wheel bearing. I had moved from Chicago and the potholes were very bad in my area.
My concern about the work was the cost and payments accepted. They said they offered 0% financing for 6 months, so I agreed to get the wheel bearing replaced and have them clean the throttle body. When I came to pick up my car & pay, I was told that yes, they have 0% financing, but when I looked at the paperwork, it included a ridiculously high monthly "service charge."
So, in the end, I had to pay for the work done on my car in full on the spot, and my car stalled again in less than a week.
"I think you got us confused with a different repair shop or your a liar. We would never charge anyone $1200 dollars for a throttle body cleaning and a wheel bearing. Those services for most vehicles range from $250 to $420 total, it seems like your confused or just a liar. I checked our database for a [Member Name Removed] and we have never had anyone by that name at our auto repair shop in Plainfield. Our shop name is Last Chance Auto Repair. Did you get us confused with Last Chance Recovery maybe? You've obviously never even been to our shop. You more than likely work at a local auto repair shop and one of the things you do is bash your local competitors. You said we have a ridiculously high monthly "service charge" financing plan. That is more proof of you lying sometimes our financing plan is completely free of any interest charges. It does depend on the plan that you pick. We're always here to help, all our services, come with a warranty on parts and labor. We always look at the vehicle, breakdown the estimate, that includes options before any service is preformed. We're always saving people money, while giving them the best service possible, all while we make money. P.S. nowhere on our paper work does it show that our auto repair shop's financing program includes a high interest rate nor has it ever. We are a family owned auto repair shop that includes family pricing. We accept then beat all local written auto repair estimates. We have a low cost quality guarantee! You must have us confused with a different automotive repair shop. There is a repair shop called Last Chance Automotive in Frankfort Illinois? Maybe?"
