Tired Old Dealer Tricks - bigwaterguy
We were on vacation and having trouble with my truck (Chevy) so I drove it directly to Rodenroth because I was not familiar with anyone else in town. Understanding the fact I was on vacation in a town I was not familiar with, I knew I would get charged more than I should but did not have many options, continuing to drive the truck would result in catastrophic failures. When they called me to tell me what was broke, they also told me my front brakes (pads and rotors) were "shot" and in serious need of replacement, they would be happy to take care of that at the same time for a highly inflated fee. I declined the brake work and paid the high dollar to get the truck back on the road. When I get home I wasted little time getting my truck to my local mechanic, going so far as to have him order the parts so there was no time wasted. He took the front tires off and showed me the pads had 75% life left and the rotors had average wear. No work needed. Nice job Rodenroth on continuing to be the reason that dealerships have a bad name.
