Co-Op Service Center

Was visiting my sister in Hanover with my 17 month old daughter and they fixed my flat tire in 5 minutes for $10. Was great to find a place so close and convenient.

I brought my 2000 Tundra into this service center for a brake inspection. They noticed other issues and decided to give the truck a full once over safety inspection. They identified an estimated $4200 in work that needed to be done immediately or on the near term horizon. The biggest proposed expense was replacing the rear assembly, which they claimed had rusted through in the differential casing causing it to leak gear oil. They said not to drive the truck because there were too many safety issues. I carefully took the vehicle home and found that the only thing wrong with the rear assembly was that the fill bolt needed to be tightened. Have been driving the vehicle for 1000 miles now and haven't lost a drop of oil. There is NO sign of anything more than surface rust on the assembly. They also claimed I needed a front brake job. I took my wheels off this morning, and there is over 1/4 inch of pad remaining and the rotors look fine. They claimed my tires were so bald that they weren't worth rotating, but there is enough tread that they will pass State inspection this fall. Soon enough they will need replacing, but they overstated the urgency. I thought this shop would be less likely than others to suggest unnecessary service since it is organized as a co-op. I'm a co-op member, but will never get my vehicles worked on at this service station. Very disappointing.
