Reply to comment by DaytonaDemon in VIP with that quick math by k1ckstand

They also ripped me off last week. Tested my battery for free. Said the battery was fine but my starter failed, so I made an appointment to get it replaced. Brought the truck in. They call me 15 minutes later saying my battery wasn’t providing enough charge in order for them to run a full diagnostic on my starter and alternator. Told em to do what they had to do…I kind of laughed and knew where it was going but my truck was already in their garage. and I also thought my starter was gone because it had supposedly failed their test. All in all starter was fine. Charged me 375 bucks.

I will also add that I reluctantly went to vip because I can’t find a decent mechanic in my area that isn’t booked for months out. I’m a carpenter not a mechanic although since I bought my truck I have been trying to do any work I can on my own. Recently blew a bunch of discs in my back and haven’t been able to do a whole lot. I really just needed my truck to be sound. If anyone has any suggestions for the Gardiner/Augusta area I’d appreciate it.
