Galpin Mazda of North Hills

Recently took my Mazda into Galpin Mazda for an oil change and requested they look into a few items. The service writer was very friendly and they had a nice facility with free coffee and pastries.<br change and requested they look into a few items. The service writer was very friendly and they had a nice facility with free coffee and pastries.<br><br>The inside rear view mirror was loose. The dome light didn't work and chrome strip on the LR door was loose.<br><br>After two hours, I was told that the mirror was not repairable and a new one would cost $110. The loose chrome strip would cost $380 to replace and the dome light would cost $15, if it was just a burned out bulb. I told them to fix the dome light only. <br><br>Oh, they also said that my two rear shocks were bad and needed to be replaced for $620. I asked if they meant the two front shocks, because those were the ones they said were bad and needed to be replaced during my last oil change. They said no, it was definitely the two rear shocks. I said no thanks.<br><br>When I got the car home I decided to take the rear view mirror off myself to look at it. Lo and Behold, after the removal, a mounting bracket was revealed that had two loose phillip head screws. I tightened them and reinstalled the mirror. This took me all of 5 minutes. I also cemented the door trim back on myself with a $3.99 tube of trim adhesive from Pep Boys.<br><br>Never again Galpin Mazda service.<br><br> More
