TRIED TO SCAM ME!! RIP OFF!! STAY AWAY!!
If I could give this place a rating of 0 I would. I was referred to this shop to have my brakes replaced. I work at a Honda dealership and had one of the service technicians look at my car before I took it to Green Automotive. I told Art (owner of Greens) over the phone what I wanted replaced and he gave me a quote of $300 max worst case. I brought the car to him the following morning. When I went to pay the bill it was for $412. Being a young and poor college student this is a big difference. He told me he had to replace a caliper (whch Honda told me I did not need done) and that was the reason for the price increase.
Not only did he replace and try charging for this part, but he never called to ask my permission. He told me that if I wanted to pay $300 then I could but I would need to buy another caliper for him for $100. What?!? When I said absolutely not I was promptly told to "Go F**K myself" I was told this 4 more times while in his shop while waiting for him to run my credit card. He eventually agreed to charge me the original $300 but told me not to come back to his shop adding that I was a little B***H. Being a nice guy, I started to say that I appreciate him charging me for what he ORIGINALLY told me. I was cut off and told to get out of his shop and again to "Go F**K myself"
In summary, he tried taking advantage of me and quickly realized that I was not going to back down. This led him to immediately resort to vulgarity and to question my knowledge of cars. What a joke. Please stay away from this service shop to avoid being insulted and ripped off. How this guy has managed to stay in business is a mystery to me.
Now the question is, does anybody know a reliable shop in the Annapolis area? read more
