Advanced Auto Centre, St Peters, NSW

Honest Ken I took my vehicle to be serviced in May 2011, they told me the Transmission needed servicing, and said the fee was $220. When I came to pick up the vehicle they said they had also drained and flushed the Power Steering System because something black was in the fluid bottle and that they cleaned it the best they could, why didn't they phoned me and tell me they were going to do this extra service, they charged me $95. But not only that, they quote a price, not stating plus GST. The large Price List as you enter the property doesn't state plus GST but one thing for sure you will be charged GST on top of the stated price. I believe the reason being when they quote for the job it sounds cheaper. Beware! And don't say you weren't warned. Get everything they say in writing or you've got no evidence. Or better still Don't Go to Advanced Auto Centre. Don't trust them, don't deal with them. They only charged me $99 (opps, plus GST) for the engine service because it would have made an cheaper than the Dealership at $129 including GST. Because I was aware; the next time, and 18 months later, I wanted my vehicle serviced again, I walked in and ask them "how much was the service", Tony looked it up on their computer and said $299 (that would have been the maximum I would have accepted and expected to pay, but when I picked up the vehicle they had added GST again, I vowed I would never return to Advanced Auto Centre again. Get it in writing! Or Better Still, Don't Go to Advanced Auto Centre.
