Ricks Tire And Wheel Warning!!!! $150 emmission waiver Cost $238 dollars! at RICKS TIRE AND WHEEL Seattle!!! Seattle, WA Washington
RICKS TIRE AND WHEEL 120TH AND AURORA NEXT TO THE VEHICLE EMMISIONS TESTING STATION.
I took my 85 y/o's mothers 96 Lumina in after it failed the Emissions test; I gave them the Inspection report that stated "p0420: Catalist System Efficiency Below threshold Bank 1" I was told they would do an evaluation and call me in the morning. The next day I get a a call from a Mark he tells me:
#1 I need new tires!
#2 I need new brakes!!
{now keep in mind I brought this in for an emission waiver !}
He told me a universal catalytic converter was $305 plus $200 to install
[ I picked one up for $30] but that they could do everything for @$900
Or they could adjust the fuel mixture adjustments and get me the $150 waiver for $230 !!!!!
YES $230 FOR A 150 DOLLAR WAIVER!!!
Have you ever tried to adjust the fuel mixture on a computerized car??? It can't be done!
I was pissed and I hate giving money to CROOKS! but I had to get moms car back when I went in to get my car back the guy behind the counter said its $110 plus $40 2 days storage fee's ...Storage fee's!! They never did anything but read the emissions inspection report ! Which states the catalytic converter is bad. Also when I told him I was going to write him up he laughed" Rippoff Reports! ha ha !"
I guess My lesson is NEVER GO TO THE PLACE NEXT DOOR TO THE EMISSIONS TESTING STATION UNLESS YOU WANT TO GET RIPPED OFF!
