The problem with antifreeze drip was fixed and I agreed to the price because I was there and need it the problem fixed, but at $436 to reconnect a clamp that needed the battery removed to get underneath and reconnect to stop the dripping of antifreeze, felt a bit over price. Also, that included a $21 to top off the antifreeze which I did the day before and due to the dripping that went down by a finger but just to top it off which it wasn’t much I was charged more than what I paid for a big bottle the day before.
I’m sorry you feel it was unfair. I’m order to replace the clamp you were charged an hour and a half of labor and diagnostics. And coolant due to losing coolant after replacement of the clamp. My guys were ethical and honest. Most places would have sold you the hose and had you wait for days for it to come in. We got you in and out in one day on your fiat. Thankfully we live up to our reputation and do the right thing by our clients. I wish you well in your endeavors for a search for a cheap shop that does quality repairs honestly.
