A couple weeks ago on Sunday I was hearing a severe grinding sound in my brakes and took it in right away on Monday. He fixed it by Thursday and it cost me $1500 for it. What do you guys think of this? The guy is my Dad's best friend. I dont think I will bring my car there anymore cause I think he overcharged me by alot. I dont want to come off as a whiner though and very grateful I have new Brakes and my car is back to full health.
You got rooked. Chevy's are the most common vehicle, meaning the most parts made, thus the cheapest to purchase. The entire labor for the entire project should have been 6 hrs...max. As a grown man, you need to start looking into doing some things for yourself. You likely could have purchased all of the parts off of ebay motors for just a couple hundred bucks, and found a buddy that you trust to help you do the work for a case of beer and a home cooked meal.
Volson is meh, but I like him, and he has far exceeded my expectations
