Given this company's reputation, I was shocked with my experience! My story: Made an appointment for a safety inspection (approx 45 min). Two hours later, the mechanic told me they hadn't started on my vehicle. Three hours later, the mechanic called me and told me I needed $2900 worth of work and that my vehicle wouldn't pass inspection until all that work was completed. I left and got a second opinion from a friend who has been working on vehicles for 12+ years. Bottom line, I needed new front struts and brake pads. The assessment Lex Brodies gave me was UNETHICAL and downright FALSE. They told me my vehicle REQUIRED strut mounts for $454, which was FALSE They told me my vehicle REQUIRED a full brake overhaul, for $473, which was FALSE They told me they had to special order parts from the dealer, which was FALSE. O'Reilly's auto parts got me the struts for $138/strut; Lex Brodies quoted me at $386. They told me I required rear shocks for $428 which was completely FALSE. Lex Brodie's also nickeled and dimed an extra $400 on REQUIRED accessories needed to make the repairs. Again, they quoted me on $2900+ worth of repairs. After my trustworthy mechanic looked at it, all I needed was $350 in parts plus 3 hours labor. I got my vehicle inspected post repairs and passed with flying colors. These people should be reported to the Better Business Bureau and investigated for unethical practices.
