    Estimate for bogus axle repair

    **I suggest anyone who goes to Dan's to read this review in its entirety as this business tried to scam me for $800 worth of unnecessary repairs.** I went in for a regular service at Dan's Merrifield Sunoco for a routine check up. I was told it would be done on the same day. Chris (the manager I believe) calls me back same day to tell me that my car axle looks like it's been tweaked and it's making a weird thumping sound and is "unusual" for a car this new. I never got into a serious collision so no idea how this could have happened. He said he would call me back for more details and he never did until the Monday. I didn't have my car for 3 days and he didn't even tell me they would be closed during the weekend? Okay.. Whatever minor annoyance. He asked me if I wanted to go through with the repairs after calling them a bunch of times on monday. I said yes if it was necessary and he proceeded to act like he was going go order me an axle and told me my car would be done next day after they received the order. I called him back 5 mins later to tell him I didn't want to get it done (I was going to get a second opinion). I ubered to pick up my car and Chris tells me to hop in the car to show me the thumping noise and I hear it as we drive around the block. I never heard this sound before I brought my car in so I was suspicious as this was a very noticeable sound I feel like I would have noticed.. Here's where it gets interesting. I take my car to a dealership for them to check it out and they basically said nothing was wrong with my axle and the reason the thumping noise was happening is because one of the wheels was unusually loose, like someone purposefully did it. The dealership sent me a video report of the inspection. I call Dan's back immediately and they tell me Chris is on vacation for a month. What a joke. I talk to a "manager" and he shakes me off saying it's just a quote and that the noise might have not been the axle and they wouldn't have charged me if that was the case. Then why would they quote me $800 for an axle problem if they didn't even diagnose the problem as an axle problem? Why did Chris clearly say it was an axle issue and also why did Chris "order" me a new axle before I called back after to void it? That makes no sense to make an axle order if they didn't diagnose the axle issue. This is a questionable business and I submitted the receipts I got from Dan's and filed a report. I have a feeling they are doing this to other customers. Please beware this business seems to be scamming people of unnecessary repairs for not trivial amounts of money.

    They honor their business hours!!!

    Been coming here for 10 years, with about six cars. I also know almost everything about repairing…read morean internal combustion engine (ICE), so I am a highly qualified reviewer. Five stars for the service, minus one star for the cons listed below. If you are going here for something other than oil changes, that is unwise; you may as well throw your money in a barrel and light it on fire. PROS: Fast - about 10 minutes Cheap - about the same price I would pay if I bought my own oil No scheduling - just drive up They treat me decent. Cons: Up-sell - They always try to scare you into buying something else. They are obsessed with selling air filters. One of my cars had less than 1,000 miles on it and they said I needed new air filters! They also love to sell the "in cabin" air filter. Just politely say no thank you. (lack) of Full Service - I pay for the full service that includes vacuum car and clean windows. They vacuum about 50% of the time, and do a bad job. They clean the windows about 25% of the time, and only do windshield, and do a bad job. Why do I keep paying for this? Only a few bucks, and sometimes they get it right. If you want someone to kiss your @$$ and give you free coffee, pay twice as much for an oil change and go to a premium car dealer (BMW, Mercedes, Infiniti, Lexus, etc). Then schedule and take a few hours out of your day to do it. Then.....you will still get the up-sell that you need something like brake fluid flushed.
