Was hoping this might be a thread about blatant rip-offs by repair shops. Example:

My daughter has an older Honda Civic (2015). Took it to a Meineki (sp?) because of a “funny noise” while rolling along. They told her she needed new brakes, rotors, alignment and shocks…$1400. I had put new brakes on it less than 5k miles earlier. Went to a Walmart service center and they diagnosed a bad tire (belt separation) that she bought there. Tire replaced under warranty. Problem solved.

A similar story when my son took his car in for tires while away at school. The thievery seems commonplace and almost expected.
