So had some more work done on my car luckily this one was more minor. I take it into the shop and i am told its done. I notice they charge me quadruple the price of a item if i had just bought it at a auto store. Thats not the problem however im rather ticked about it, not sure if i could do price protection on that or not?
The dispute in question i have: They said they fixed my problem yet i noticed the problem did not get fixed. If the car repair shop says they want to charge me more since they claimed it being fixed can i dsipute the original charge? I used my CSP card so not sure on how well Chase is when it comes to disputes. Mainly because i basically paid for nothing to be fixed, im hoping they are willing to fix this issue so i dont need to issue a dispute if needed.
LOL, people amaze me. You can't have it both ways. You want a shop to install a part yet you want them to charge you the cheapest price out there?
It doesn't work that way. Shops get a price markup because they have to warranty the part. If it fails, they have to remove and replace it. Sure the part might cost more via a shop but that's a given. If it was so easy to replace the part then people should spend the $100,000 in tools a master mechanic has to invest in to do the repairs themselves.
Granted a 300% markup is a bit extreme but you ain't going to get a part installed at cost and book rate. And I highly doubt it falls under "price protection".
Like I say, if it's so easy, buy the part and do it yourself. Or hire some shady character on Craigslist to do the work. I personally think people deserve whatever comes their way by trying to cheap out on mechanical work.
