Tidewater Express Tidewater Express Of Hampton RoadsTidewater Express Chesapeake, Va Rapist To the Trucking Industry by Double billing for fees. I took in my 20007 Freightliner for repairs and in took 9 weeks and $11500 for repairs that should have taken 2 weeks and $5000. Chesapeake Virginia

In december 2013 i had  my 2007 freightliner towed to tidewater express in chesapeake va for repairs from my drive shaft falling out of my truck. we asked for an estimate where they proceeded to tell me that they could not do so because of the extent of the repairs. i said i needed a ballpark and then was told they were too busy to do so.they said they needed wiring diagrams and i was told they had nobody to go get them and they needed to be hand delivered, which made no sense since they got parts everyday and mechanics went to get parts but i went to get it and it still took them 9 weeks.  my truck sat for six weeks until i notified the owner and then it still took 3 more weeks. the owner told me he would adjust the bill only after the bill was paid in full which i knew meant he was not going to do anything which he did nothing!!they proceeded to charge me $11,400 for a job that typically takes 2 weeks and only $5000. the owner has done nothing to try to fix this or credit any lost time. but anytime you take your truck there it takes them 2 times as long  as anybody else to do the same work and then they also double the bill as well. the service manager is a jerk and lies just like the service writer.
