This place gets 1 star for being courteous and that's it. Larry quoted me $45 to do my back brakes and a tire rotation and have me out in an hour. When I arrived, he took me right away, got my wheels off and began the job. He informed me that the calipers were difficult to get off so he proceeded with some hammering tool to try to bang at it to loosen it up. After 15 minutes, he disappeared for about 45 minutes without saying anything to me, then came back, banged on it a couple more times, then went inside to take another customer's payment, then came back out and said he's going to keep trying but he may break the calipers. At that point, I asked him to stop and get me a price on the calipers, he came back with a price that was much higher than I know them to be so I asked him to just stop (I wasn't confident that he knew what he was doing and I didn't want him to damage my car). He checked the other wheel and knocked the caliper once with a hammer and told me that one will need a replacement as well. When I saw that, I was freaked out and asked him just to put everything back together so I could leave. I told him I wasn't prepared to pay that price for the calipers. He charged me $65 for labor which I thought was ridiculous and outrageous considering he initially quoted me $45, he didn't get anything done on my car and clearly didn't know what he was doing. He told me it's not his fault my car is messed up and he did his part so he still has to charge me for labor. The only thing he was successful at was rotating the tires, which he admitted he only charges $12 for. After going back and forth, he ended up bringing it down to $50 which still was crazy to me that he would charge me for labor when he only worked on my car for a total of 20 minutes!! The dangers of being a single female in a mechanic shop. I paid the $50 and left. I brought my car to my regular mechanic at Affordable Tire in Covington, GA (an hour drive for me) and he took the calipers off with the proper tool, which did not require any banging or breaking of my calipers and my brake job was done in about 30 minutes and way cheaper than Larry at Fairburn Tire charged me for working on a car that he obviously knew nothing about. I wish he would have just told me that he didn't know what he was doing and save me the trouble and the rip-off! Oh, but he did say God bless as I walked through the door so he gets 1 star. read more
