AA just ran well in excess of $1,000 over budget on my 914. I dont dispute the necessity of the work or the pricing of the work. However, they went way too far when I told them to what my budget was. The official company line is this was a "misunderstanding".
In all candor, Shon and Daniel in the shop were great to work with. Shon got put in the middle between George and I when George suddenly dropped the problem on his lap. AA fooled me once on bad customer service. Now they fooled me twice. Shame on me for trusting them. Never again! To keep a potential flame war off the site, PM me if you're interested in the story.

Last summer my girlfriend dropped her car off at Tires Plus to get her tires rotated and she ended up getting new tie rods and some other stuff, and all of a sudden they wanted like $450!
She pulled the crying helpless girl routine and got away with paying like $300, but it was still pretty un-cool. |

He's playing a pretty good victim role here. Airing this publicly to get AA to lower his bill. What makes me skeptical of this guy is he published this on both this site and the club site. It seems like he's trying to play this in the court of public opinion. Like everything, there is two sides to the story. I'd wait to hear both sides before jumping on this guys bandwagon. JMO. j. |

I too was curious about this post & PMd' him regarding living in Wisconsin & going to Atlanta to rotate tires? Also, who charges $300 to rotate tires? He replied that this happened in Wisconsin, not AA. I suggested he edit... too late. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cool_shades.gif) Ah, Tires Plus. Thanks.
