Thanks for all your advice..
My original post on this matter is seven topics down from this post.
this mechanic, he used to be a friend of mine, long story. He used to work on bugs and mercedes, then fazed out only to work on mercedes...
I went in to have my car looked over before my la trip. I assumed if alot of money was involved, he would call me. He knows I'm broke. ANd I told him I wanted a new air conditionining unit when I got one.
When I went to pick up my car, he told me he pulled an air conditioning unit (clutch and compressor) from another car; said it was great and he saved me alot of money.
I was charged $550 for everything; I was shocked.
I told him i wanted a new ac unit, and i appreciate if he had a good one he though would work; but i would have appreciated a phone call.
I don't know if i'm overreacting to the bill or not.
Was a cheated? I don't know if i can do anything about it now anyway..it kind of hit me over the weekend. When he showed me the bill i was in shock.
Can someone please look at the bill and let me know their opinion?...I'm hoping I'm overreacting.
Take into account this is San Francisco, where everything seems to be overpriced.
Please let me know any fax numbers I can send to to have your guys expert opinions...
thanks much,
