Negative Experience
One reviewer, Farhad Qadri, had a negative experience at the shop. He was charged $250 for a diagnosis and was told that his Mercedes had a transmission issue that would cost $2500 to fix. However, after taking his car to a different mechanic, the problem was found to be with the fuel pump, which was repaired for $350. This review highlights the potential for misdiagnosis and overcharging.
