ck engine light came on in car...took it to dealership they called me told me it was the gas cap then prceeded to breakdown the bill which came out to 183.98 the cap costs only 20.00 this is goughing to say the least. trying in vain to file a bbb complaint but as of yet no success . need you're help.
 
I had the same thing happen. The repair shop put the car on the computer system to diagnose the trouble, and they charged me their set price for the computer diagnosis. It was a few years ago, but it was like $80. Talk to the manager at the repair shop to request an adjustment. If he doesn't budge, file a bbb complaint. One time I paid $300 and the part was only $2. Next time, go to a place you can trust and try to build a relationship with the same place so you know what to expect.
 
File a complaint with the BBB. Then look up the owner of the garage and call him at night while he is eating dinner. You may have to be persistent, but after you call for enough nights I believe you will get your money back. I would also file a report with the local media or investigative reporter and try to get on the news. Go to the local chamber of commerce and get info on the business from and them and see if they can help you. I would put an ad in the local newspaper asking if anyone else had the same experience and then use that as leverage for the reporter and for the report with the BBB.
