Avoid this shop like the plague!!!!

Original review posted by user Jul 01, 2016

I had a lock cylinder and housing replaced there and was charged $550 for the part alone. I looked online and found one for $112 which is about five times the price they charged me.

The sales rep said that they install manufacturer approved parts only. The part I saw online was an OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) made by Genuine Auto Parts. I appealed to the company and they had the Customer Service manager contact me and he insisted that the part cost was legitimate to which I replied that I, honestly don't believe him. I was an easy mark or target.

I had to be towed in so I was stuck. My total bill which included labor and a new tire was $950. That's no typo. They, also, conveniently neglected to give me the 5% Geico discount and they added a $10 insurance charge for the tire which I never agreed to.

They did adjust the bill for those latter "mistakes" but I was ripped off on part.

The only good that came out of it is that I can warn consumers not to do business at this Firestone. I can only imagine what scams they run on little old ladies.

Reason of review: Pricing issue.

Monetary Loss: $438.

Location: Rochester, New York

I answered Firestone that they shouldn't bother contacting me if they will tell me that that the price of the part was fair. I was told that lie already and it would be adding insult to injury.

I still haven't heard back from Firestone. I'm not surprised!
