I had an estimate done for replacing a water pump and he said he was at $5,000 and still not done with the estimate, I called around and had it done for $2,700 at another garage. Shop around buyer beware!
Reply from the business:
Dec 24, 2023We deeply regret your recent experience with our pricing, Jay. We aim to provide fair and accurate estimates for all our services. I have personally reviewed your estimate and I can attribute this misunderstanding to very poor communication by my Service Writer to you. Replacing a water pump on your vehicle is a very intensive job with a lot of possible variables and that should have been communicated. Normally in that instance we give a range of pricing from just replacing the water pump at $2100 to water pump and all engine timing components around $5,000. The service writer you dealt with is fairly new at his job, but that is no excuse and I apologize. I thank you for your feedback, this has given us a valuable teaching moment. I understand your disappointment and hope to make it up to you in the future. Dennis Girard Owner Girard's Service of Franklin Inc.
