Sunoco Of West Bradenton

Took my Toyota in for a slipping belt on the recommendation by a local civic leader.
They could not define which belt was slipping — so had them replace both the fan and AC belt. Should have cost around $ 50 — $ 60. Price? $ 120. When asked what their shop rate is — reply $ 85/​hour.
Pretty pricey for a neighborhood gas station — but it was obvious this is an operation all about making top profit. I had to endure a slick sales pitch on letting them replace my timing belt. Cost for kit is under $ 200, but their estimate to replace was almost $ 800. I don’t think so.
This place employs a full time rep (I’m betting on commission) to write up orders. Yes the operation and shop rate mimics a high priced dealership service operation. I’m told the ownership also owns numerous Shell stations in the area.
Also asked them to check a vibration out. Bad news — I need new tie rods. Smelling a well expired fish (and knowing a good bit about car mechanics) — decided to take it elsewhere. What did the vibration turn out to be? A small bubble on the tire.
Best case — we are talking incompetence, but in reality this has to be a dishonest operation.
I would avoid this place at all costs, and any gas station operation in the area — that has the same ownership and business model.
