Merchant's Tire and Auto Service Center

Just so you know guys, extreme research was done prior to posting this review. One day, I went to Toyota dealer for a safety recall and while doing they did a complementary inspection of my car and found my rear set of wheels needed brake pads and rotors. The estimate was $700. Same day, went to Merchant's auto - estimate $550. They charged $25 for just looking at the car, while others are free to look at. In any case, On the internet, I found out it cost no more than $200 for both parts considering the BEST brands (rotors and pads), cheaper less than $100. Now, labor most auto folks say it's 90-120 mins. In reality, it's just 30mins, max 45mins. At $2/min, it's $90 bucks. Auto folks charge: 2 times or 3 times that amount depending the gullible customers. So, the total actual cost is : $290. Auto Mechanics charge around $550 - $800 for replacement depending on how stupid the customers is and kind of car they drive.

Go here if you think $720 is a fair price for an alternate belt & 4 spark plugs on a Toyota. Go here if you want to pay $370 for 1 hour of labor. Go here if you want to be lied to then treated like a incompetent imbecile when you question your final bill.
