Went in for an inspection 2 weeks ago, guy says my low beam is out and I need a knee one, says it will be expensive too (no it isn't), I ask how much, he says he'll check for me.
He comes back and says $140!
I then tell him that's not true, I actually have an extra bulb in my in glove compartment, I can give it to him if he wants to change it now. He says oh no that's not the right one blah blah blah.... I said yes it is, I've been buying these for years and I can change it in 3 minutes. The bulb itself costs $10-$15. He then started walking away from me and mumbling like oh no I don't think so, but you can change it and come back then, and then literally walked away from me.
I left and changed it at home with that extra bulb I had in 5 minutes. It works.
TLDR: Tried to scam me for $140 for 2 minutes of work with a bulb I HAD for the change. Then scurried away when I confronted him about it.
Most shops would've done it for free or like $10, especially since I had the bulb lol. Scam artist. read more
