- GAgreg adkins3 days ago1.0This place is a ripoff, I went in to get 2 side post battery bolts because they was stripped,they went ahead and replaced only 1 of them without quoting me a price and said okay your ready to go and charged me 62 dollars for just 1 bolt,they did not do the job right,both bolts needed replaced!,and you should never do any work on a customer's car before you give them a price on what it's going to cost them,so they did not do that and they did not replace both bolts and they charged me 62 dollars for a 3 dollar bolt that took 2 minutes to replace,what a joke!!!,I will never go to any car x again!!!
