My car stalled on Interstate 275 and I had to pull off of the internet to a side street. I walked 10 blocks before I located a mechanics station and that was techmaster. I had to pay 35.00 cash up front to have the car towed to the station that was okay. I at first was told it would cost me 337.00 to fix the distributor cap on the car. Then the guy at the desk blinked nervously and said he had made a mistake. I was then told it would cost 743.64 to fix the problem.

When I got home, I checked with the Auto Zone parts center to see about the parts that were ordered and found out that I had been overcharged on the parts. Here's how it fleshed out:
Auto Zone Ignition Distributor their price= $230.00 tech mastersprice=$
399.47
Auto Zone/Duralast/wells=their price=$15.99, tech masters price=62.96
Auto Zone/Distributor rotor=their price=$6.00 tech masters price=23.98
Auto Zone/Cap & Rotor=$36.00(extended) couldn't figure out this charge at all.
Auto Zone/Plug wire/set=$28.00 , their price $75.58

The whole job cost me 743.64

I feel that I was ripped off but, I was told the f.t.c. might be able to do something about this.

I'm hoping to find out more information as I go.
My advice, Carry road service and, avoid this place like the plague.
