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.

Just a couple of thoughts
There is a HUGE difference between someone working on thier own car, or friend's car's as a part time gig, compared to a business like AA. The Dr. and crew do this for a living, and the prices they charge reflect, insurance, taxes, overhead, profit, etc. If you want it done for less, do it yourself. Seems to be two things going on here: 1) if the was properly authorized and 2) the value of the work. And it is a shame that this was made public. Sorta reminds me of a paint job last year. Konrad are you really a lawyer? |
