Joe & Son’s Service

I’ve been here once before for regulatory scheduled service, came back today for another service on my car and paid more than double for the same service! This was after saying no to do other «necessary» things. Also, not a fan of the random charges, such as «safety inspection» for $ 75 which was never mentioned or preformed at the last service. All I wanted was a service (oil and filter change, tire rotation), I left feeling ripped off. It actually would have cost me half the price to go to Inskip instead, next time I will.

My dealings with the staff are always good. They always call and provide an estimate before doing any work. The work is done and at a reasonable cost.

A fan so far.
I called for an appointment and was greeted with a very pleasant person ion the other end of the phone. Very polite and introduced himself.
I explained my issue (check engine light). he told me to drop it off the next morning, which I did. **The place is a little odd when you are looking from the road, It is a gas station with the service bays in the back. The name is on the awning and not the sign.
Once I arrived, I was greeted with a smile and a handshake. He took my contact info and told me he would give me a call after noon. He called back and explained that he had hooked up my car to the computers and got the codes. Ran all of the latest diagnostics so on and so forth. and that it all actually checked out. In the discussions I mentioned that the car had some recent body work. Piecing it all together his opinion was that they had unhooked the battery at the body shop and some of the programming did not take when they hooked it back.
Total charge, $ 0.00. Had I taken the car to Inskip, I would have paid $ 90.00 just to plug it to the machine.
So at this point, I am a fan and will return. I will add any update when and if I need to have my car worked on.
