I brought my Jeep in to have them look at the KC lights. They supposedly spent almost 2 hours ($269 of labor) looking at them and ended up putting one fuse in, which still didn’t fix the issue. The lights still don’t work.
They also charged me $138 for an oil change. I think I’ll save myself $60 and go to the drive through synthetic oil change place.
Thank you for your feedback, Althea. We understand that you’re frustrated that the lights were not all repaired, but we want to clarify that our charges reflect the diagnostic time and approved work performed—not simply the number of parts replaced. And the general labor charge included the requested removal of plow components.
Our technician spent nearly two hours diagnosing the KC light issue and installed a fuse as part of that process. Electrical diagnostics can require significant time to properly trace and test a system, even when the eventual repair is not immediately successful. The diagnostic charge covers that professional time and expertise, along with our technician's detailed notes about what is needed to replace the remaining lights that did not work. Hopefully those notes are helpful to whomever you have finish the repairs to your KC lights that need to be replaced due to corrosion and water damage.
Our oil change pricing also reflects the quality of the service and products we provide being a Napa Auto Care Center. We understand that there are lower-cost, drive-through options available, but our pricing is based on the level of service we provide and is not intended to compete with quick-lube pricing. It also includes with every vehicle, our comprehensive digital vehicle inspection report, we hope this report is helpful to you in any future repairs and maintenance you have done on your vehicle.
We also would like to say that we stand behind the work performed, the pricing charged, and believe our team’s time and expertise should be fairly compensated. We were happy to discuss this all with you when our service advisor spoke with you over the phone throughout your appointment process and after. We understand that while we are not the best fit for what you are looking for in an auto repair shop, we hope you find one in our area that is. We wish you all the best and safe travels, Sarah Whittemore (Co-Owner)
