My car wouldnt start and I called Lawrence/Ashland b/c I knew they had towing service. They offered to look at my car and give me an estimate. They quoted me over 1,000 for a new alternator. When i called them back after consulting with a colleague about the cost to repair he said it was outrageous. So I called the mechanic back and told him I could do it cheaper elsewhere. He said he would do it for 600 something and when he quoted me over a thousand he was including something i didnt even ask for. So, I was desperate and didnt want to pay to get it re-towed somewhere else. So they suposedly *fix* it al the time being very rude to me when I had questions. Why did I even allow this to happen? I feel like a moron. So, I get my car, and a couple of days later I cant start my car. I call them back and they tell me it must be my starter. I had them run a computerized check on my car and there was no indication of a starter problem. I believe there was never a problem with the alternator and they scammed me for money. When i called to speak with the owner he was just as bad as the mechanic. RUDE and UNPROFESSIONAL-could care less. If you ever go in there and look on their walls you will see awards or compiments for their work. It must have been fabricated becaue no normal person would ever return here to get their car fixed. please do not get swindled by these people. They are scam artists and are NOT running an honest business and should be shut down!!!
Pros: None
Cons: Do not get your car fixed here, do not let them tow your car.
