Tuffy Muffler & Brakes $400 to fix something that is not broke!! Mentor, Ohio

I stopped in to Tuffy one day to see how much it would cost to quiet the exhaust system down. They put my Jeep Wrangler up on the lift and then came out to the lobby and told me My exhaust manifold had a crack in it. I asked how much and the manager, Ron told me "do you really want to know?" I said sure. He said the part is $157.00 and the labor would be $200.00 something plust taxes so the total would be roughly, $400.00. I said no thank you. I went to a local auto parts store and asked how much an exhaust manifold would cost me. They told me $102.00 out the door. I bought it. I hired the local mech. in my area to help me change this. We spent the morning getting the part off of my jeep and to our surprise, There was NO crack, only a loose bolt. I do know of four people that wittnessed this will never shop at Tuffys ever again and I am thinking they will pass this info along to other hatrd working customers.

Make sure you are getting what you pay for at these shady auto repair shops, they like to RIP YOU OFF.

All I can think of is paying $400.00 to tighten up a lose bolt.............
