Aamco Groupon $39 Brakes service Scam!!! Groupon $39 for front or rear brake service, including brake pads, rotor resurfacing, and labor ($240 value) They refused resurfacing my front rotors when honda dealer said it can be turned one more time. They wanted to charge me $245 + tax to service my calipers and put on new rotors and brakes pads. They wouldn't let me bring in my own new rotors which was only $30.99 each for Bosch rotors with lifetime warranty from O'reillys. The scammed me for $158.47 with tax for new rotors + $39 groupon fee = almost $200 for $50 worth of parts and 45 minutes labor with 5 hour waiting time. They wouldn't give me a refund on the $39 groupon coupon, even when service was denied for turning my rotors and forced me buy their overpriced parts at triple the retail cost! I video recorded mostly everything that Seattle Aamco manager said and will be posting it up on Youtube soon! If you want to only spend $39 on brake service, bring in your own brand new set of rotors and calipers just in case, so they can't overcharge you on parts. If they will ever turn your rotors, just refund your parts. I don't think they turn rotors there, I didn't see any rotor turning machine in their shop....... They use Posi Quiet semi - metallic brakes #104.02560 (not OEM) worth under $20 The rotor that they gave me wasn't OEM Just cheap Dura International #BR3134 $15.98 each at ebay with free shipping. Brand new set of Dura International CERAMIC BRAKE PADS AND DISC ROTORS COMPLETE KIT LEFT & RIGHT PAIR on ebay is $44.08 free shipping... I feel like I got scammed for $160 + $26.26 for resurfacing my old rotors at Honest Jack auto parts and wasted 8 hours of my time dealing with Aamco and Groupon...

Seattle Aamco owner offered a settlement of a full refund, if I take down all my reviews I posted up online.
