Similar to used car salesmen, mechanics often get bad reputations for being dishonest and recommending unneeded repairs on vehicles especially for female patrons. With this in mind and once again needing vehicle maintenance not covered by a warranty the hunt once again began for a place that seemed the least likely to cost me a mortgage payment. Immediately I was impressed with the fact that I could make appointment requests with Lex Brodie's online and less than 24 hours after my request, I received a confirmation email for my appointment. I had to call a few days later to move the drop off day/time and the person I spoke with on the phone was very courteous and helpful. When I dropped my vehicle off this morning, I advised the staff what my concerns were, and less than an hour later my vehicle had been inspected and rather than charge me for an expensive unneeded repair, they informed me of what necessary maintenance needed to be done to the vehicle and what my different pricing options were. Less than four hours later my vehicle was ready for pick up and safe to drive on the road. What I appreciated most about my dealings with Lex Brodie's today and all the staff members was the fact that they didn't try to up sell me into any unneeded repairs and they didn't try to speak down to me even when it was clear I didn't know what the hell was going on regarding a few things. My vehicle was serviced in a timely manner, and although my wallet is crying its crying over needed costs, not about being taken advantage of. Thank you Lex Brodie's for being a class act. Much appreciated. FYI - they offer a AAA and military discount which is especially helpful for days that your bill costs more than your rent/mortgage.
