Honest-1 Auto Care-Diamond Lake

The oil change I went in for was completed quickly and was priced in line with competitors. However, it seems like everytime I am told I need to take care of a lot of things that cost over $1000. Pricing for the repairs is crazy high--e.g. front light bulb...$538. Buying one at O'Reiley's $100--15 minutes later repair is completed.

Ironically--not honest. Brought my vehicle a while back for their oil change special (which is a decent deal). But then, in my case, they print out a page of "very important maintenance services" that were "manufacturer recommended". Without these they assured me I would start to have issues. However, I happened to have the owners manual with me and pointed out that the recommendations they were pushing were only for vehicles in "severe driving conditions." (Definitely not my vehicle -- all freeway miles). Immediately they became very defensive and upset that I would question their recommendations ("which they claimed were from the dealer and I was confused"). The play was clear to me. Cheap oil change and then pressure people to get service they don't even need. (I even checked with the dealership after this appointment and they ASSURED me I didn't need anything else done on my vehicle.) I've heard similar stories from others in the neighborhood and you'll find this same narrative i
