Charlie's Service reviews
2Rick and his crew are amazing guys! Get things done and with professionalism!
These folks are shady sheisters, and will rip you off - big time (see below)!
My mother had her 2011 corolla towed to Charlie's recently due to a check engine light and rough idle.
She was told the repair would be $365.55. That said I called a spoke with Rick, who advised me that the error code pinpointed a bad ignition coil on cylinder 1. Rick told me the quote of $365.65 included replacing all 4 spark plugs, plus the ignition coil. I told Rick my mother was on a fixed income and all we wanted at this time was to replace the ignition coil, and have the spark plug positioned in cylinder 1cleaned. Rick's response was "EITHER WE DO ALL OF IT, OR YOU CAN TAKE IT SOMEWHERE ELSE. " That's like taking your car to ntb, asking to replace 1 tire and having the service manager tell you "either we replace all four tires or you can go somewhere else. "
I live in St. Louis, otherwise I would have done the work myself.
Please keep in mind the parts cost, per Rick: ignition coil @98, and 4 plugs @18 each - Total 180. It literally takes less than 30min to replace these parts, yet they charged almost 2 lhrs for labor (rate @100per hr)!
DO NOT HAVE YOUR VEHCLE SERVICED HERE! They will overcharge and do work that does not need to be done.
You stay classy, Rick!
