Yeah, so, uh, PSA: VIP can and will rip you off by any and all means necessary. It's a fool's errand to go there vs. an independent trustworthy mechanic.

They also ripped off my mother. Tried to charge her for additional repairs on parts that were in perfect working condition. Needless to say, she never went there again after that.

EDIT: And that was two decades ago, BTW. They haven't changed. They never will change.
