Got their online quote for intake manifold replacement and after going in person to confirm it and get an appointment, it was not accurate. Also, desk person was cordial but forgot I was still there in the waiting area waiting to be quoted. I had to ask for an update. It took over an hour to get an actual quote in person. Quote total came as high as dealership. Total of 1.5 hours wasted. Edit: The original review showed 2 stars. I have added 2 more stars because Scott Williams with Lex Brodie's reached out and made a commitment to improve their online quoting process and to make sure staff is familiar with the online quoting system moving forward. I am confident future customers will see an improvement in this area.
Aloha Mr. Cacciatore, I was able to find your online quote and your quote in the store. The online quote uses Napa Parts prices (the online quote tool uses the Napa parts prices for all it's quotes). But, when you came in, we either used the dealer parts price since it would be the better part for the job (OR, Napa didn't show it available). This is what resulted in the price difference. In most cases with more common repairs, our actual price is lower then the online repair quote tool shows... Please note, the online tool notes: "Estimates may be subject to change upon inspection of the vehicle..." I went in a did an online quote for your vehicle, please note, i picked a 4 door model that gave me a $867.65 quote (I likely put the wrong model in - neither of your quotes that I found, shows me that info, but it shows that the wrong model being used can change the quote amount. Our quote in the store would have used the VIN number, so the most accurate). The online quote tool does have a pop up that says you can use our "CyberAuto" special which gives you 15% off with a $100 max (This doesn't currently show on the quote, but we are working to get it added!) When we apply the $100 discount, your quote with us becomes $687.97 before tax (and shop supplies) and with the dealer part, compared to the $617.56 quote (before tax ) you were sent by email. It looks like the part would need to be ordered in from the dealer. Which would require a pre-payment for the part. If you are interested, please let me know, and i'll contact the manager to apply the "CyberAuto" Coupon. Please let me know by emailing us at [email protected] Please accept our apologies for the frustration from this online quote process.
