Went to Sallas to get my AC looked at, it wasn't blowing cold anymore. The guy I talked to was super nice, and they did a good inspection for me (found some real concerns I wasn't aware of and ended up getting them fixed elsewhere). But they "found" a few extra things that were pretty scammy, and everything was quoted an crazy prices. They also do not tell you cost of parts and labor, just a flat price. For my AC, they wanted 900$ just to replace the AC line from low to compressor, and replace low side valve. There was a torn boot they wanted to replace as well as the CV axle for 500$, and replace 1 tie rod for 500$. Again, no listed parts cost. My mechanic did all 4 tie rods, AC, and new CV axle and boot for 900$. So I saved 1100$ not having Sallas fix it all. They also listed some straight BS on there, telling me my oil was low while including a picture of it at a normal level on the dipstick, and that it's probably leaking even though I change it every time and I know it isn't. They wanted to replace my cabin air filter for 100$, and 50$ for the other. They pretty much went for anything they could try to get me to pay for. I will say, they got my written approval before working on anything, so I knew exactly what I was getting into. If you don't know your way around cars, have another mechanic look at your quote from them and tell you if it's crazy. They know what they're doing and they won't do anything without your approval, but they're gonna try to get you to agree to some BS, so be warned
