Speedy Transmissions

I am pretty sure I was way overcharged. I had a 2000 Lexus Rx300 with Check Engine light on. Art told me its the O2 sensors. Estimate were with tax and labor included, $ 899 for all three sensors, two front and one rear. When it was done, he told me he did not replace the rear sensor since it was «near the rusted catalytic convertor and difficult to replace and also that the rear sensor is still good anyway. He only took $ 100 off. So I was billed $ 798.88.
I shopped around with 5 others local mechanics, Lexus of Palm Beach, Firestone, Napa, KlC, and Speedy Transmissions at Spanish River. The estimate for the two front sensors were from $ 380 to $ 500 parts and labors, but pre tax. Lexus of Palm Beach has the lowest estimate of $ 380 with OEM parts. Most estimates has the rear sensor replacement much higher than for each front sensor. That means that not only was the original estimate way more that other places, my final bill did not represent the right proportion of the total work done.
Now I would never know if the sensors are the real problem since honesty is an issue here.
Mechanics are like doctors, you need to trust them, but,
DON’T TRUST THIS PLACE.

The staff was friendly. Offered fresh coffee in the am. Even gave me a ride to work. The service performed was brakes and they did it in little time at a good price. My ride is much smoother now! Thank you
