Provided by YP.comMy girlfriend took her car in the other day to get a fuel pump replaced and they charged her about $1,000!!! This is insane!! We got a quote from a Valvoline Express place on Evans Ave (about a mile away) as well as the dealership, and they were charging under $600. By the time we got the other quotes, the service was already complete, so it was too late.
I went with her to pick up the car that evening and talk to the shop about the high price of work, and they were arguing that the dealership wouldn't give us an accurate quote because they don't have the VIN number to look up the exact model and specifications of the car; according to the shop, each Oldsmobile has a different size gas tank and that the dealership would have to see the exact car to tell. This is BS!! I have a friend who works for a dealership and quoted me the price of the OEM fuel pump ($350.70) and the labor (at about 1.8 hours... which should be about $200) and it should have come out to under $600!! So, the dealership, Valvoline and a friend who works for a dealership all say that it should be below $600 and Holiday Auto Care says it should be about $1,000, I'm definitely not taking my vehicle to this place ever again.
Holiday Auto Care is a complete rip off!! Do NOT take your car there! On the positive side, the are quick at the repairs (but the guy said that there was a two week waiting period, but serviced the car the same day... how does that work?).
Anyway, enough with my rant. I don't recommend this place and DO YOUR HOMEWORK BEFORE TELLING A SHOP TO WORK ON THE CAR! I'm not one to complain like this unless I truly feel that this shop overcharging and misleading customers.
