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

Original manufacturer parts can be exorbitant.Sometimes aftermarket parts are made by the same supplier as the original parts.
After the job is done ask for the old parts back and also ask what brand parts are to be fitted,how much do they cost?What is the hourly labour rate?They may charge for longer than the job will take.Dashcams have caught out a few auto shops too.
