Carquest Auto Parts - Perrys Auto Parts

In my opinion, this place tried to scam me. In February my car broke down and took here only because it’s in walking distance to my home. They diagnosed it as a bad coil on cylinder 4 and recommended to replace all coils. This place is also a carquest only parts. They make 40-50% on selling parts. Then they charge for labor. Selling a coil for $200 each and they pay $120 for is more money made. What they didn’t know is I just had the coils all replaced 6 months ago. I had to pay $158 for this diagnostic. I took home, I have a diagnostic tool. I found code of 304, which is misfire on cylinder 4. I moved the spark plug to cylinder 3. Guess what, the code followed to cylinder 3, code 303. Looked closer at spark plug and found a crack. Replaced all spark plug. Car like new again. Also, they reported spark plug ok. Look at invoice attached. I feel like they were going to charge me for 4 new coin + labor, then replace the bad spark plug. Replacing coil would make them more money then a spark plug. This is why, in my option I caught them in a scam. I called to get my money back. They were running to refund me. Watch out. Reporting this to Automotive and Repair. P.S. They also didn’t put the bolt back. Left it in the windshield. Picture below.

Charged me $201 to change spark plugs in my Mazda, a job I could do in 20 minutes myself on my Mazda. Charged me $98 for spark for four spark plugs, which are listed on their website for $11 each. Place has become a rip off since the new ownership has taken over.

$180+ is a steep price to pay for finding nothing wrong with a diesel truck that had "Crank no Start" issue that the Chevy dealer diagnosed within hours.

Wally has helped us our with a couple of our Chryslers and has been above and beyond helpful. The prices are fair and if they can fix the car for a better price than quoted you keep the difference. We went in for a smog and Wally offered the kids bottled water, and we were in and out in 20 mins. with our smog certificate. I highly recommend this shop for repairs and smog checks. Thank you Wally!
