I went back to Sun Automotive at the UO campus location yesterday for a windshield wiper linkage break and oil change. The estimate for the wiper fix and the suggested transmission fluid and case flush was $700. I called and ask for them to not fix the wiper or do the flush so I could get a second opinion. I was then scolded by the Service Advisor, and told that I wasted his time. When I picked up the car I was charged $130 ($80 for the oil change which previously cost $30). Jack said the wiper part was $275.
I took my car to Edge Motorsports where my total bill was $140 ($70 for the wiper part and 70 for labor) and my fluids were clean and did not need flushed.
This is the second time I had an estimate from Sun Automotive far more expensive than other places (the last repair was an alternator that was twice as expensive there as at Edge). NO more Sun Automotive... only Brad and Phil at Edge Motorsports.
