I dont like being ripped off at the auto shop

I cant always have my boyfriend come with me so I have to go to like 4 or 5 different auto places to compare prices. They said I need front brake pads and a caliper repair. My car was sounding like it was dragging loud. The prices I got for total including labor were $430, $239 and $140. Ya see? 🙄 😡 Next time Im gonna ask to buy the parts myself and just pay for labor

Did all shops you got quotes from, call for the same scope of work?
Like what Emortal said. I’d be hesitant of the $140 quote
While pads aren’t all that pricey, a caliper can be

@SW-User yes I told them what I needed one of them looked it up on his phone. For the brakes alone one of them said $109 labor included in it

@chelseamonroe3 have you looked at online reviews for each of the shops?
Do you know anyone that uses any of these shops?

@SW-User No I didnt really have much time for that My car was misbehaving and i was told it was very dangerous to drive around. I had to go with closest places.
