Making it my personal mission to let EVERYONE in New Orleans know about these con-artists!
I have a 2008 F-150. Not exactly a rare or unique vehicle. So, one would think that any technician familiar with installs would know EXACTLY what he's in for on an install regarding this truck.
I needed my amp power wire replaced. Was quoted $60. I believed this to be a fair price. So, I gave them the go-ahead on it. 45 minutes later, everything was done. My stereo was back working. Then, I was given the bill...
$208.74!!!
Ok. Let's assume that they had to charge me for a new install wiring kit and the labor was the $60 originally quoted. That still only comes to $150. They charged me for a FULL AMP INSTALL knowing full good and well that all they had to do was replace the one wire. Not to mention the fact that $90 for less than 10 feet of 4 gauge wire seems excessive. But, it is what it is. $9/ft. Another $10 "shop fees" then, $100 labor.
How do you quote $60 in labor on the front end then turn around and jack that price by 66% when the job is completed???
Contacted Paul Campo, the owner.
His response:
"You are an ungrateful customer".
DUDE, that takes some serious nerve. Over-inflated ego much??? I have nothing to be grateful for. I was the one paying for a service. Never once did I ask his associates to go above and beyond or do ANYTHING special for me. If I had, then maybe I would be beholden to them/him.
Bottom line... If you want to get ripped off, these are the guys to see. read more
