On July 18, 2023 I took my 2022 Telluride in to have the air-condition fixed and oil changed. When I dropped it off, I was told this would cost $220 to run diagnostics and do the oil change. I signed the ok to do this work and left to do some errands. I DID NOT OK ANYTHING BEYOND THE $220 (that was for the diagnostic test and oil change). after 5 hours of waiting, I called to find out what was going on with my car. they proceeded to tell me that a rock had damaged my condenser, and that I now owed over $500 to which I was irate due to the fact I did not ok anything else over the $220 that they originally told me about. I immediately told them to stop all work I was coming to pick up my car. When I arrived, they then proceeded to tell me I now owed $662.75 and they did not lower my car until I had taken out my card to pay. I have never had a dealership charge more than the initial quote, unless it was after they have called me and we discuss what needed to be done after the initial agreed upon amount, in this case was $220. I should have been notified of this increase before any more work was done, and I was not notified or even told about this "procedure" or dollar increase until AFTER it was done. They have emailed me saying this was "procedure" and what they did had to be done, saying it was part of the diagnostic process. Why then was I not told about this procedure and cost increase? Why was I not told in the beginning it would cost the $662.75 rather than the $220 I was quoted? To this day I have been in contact with the Service Manager, and the General Manager. the ** has yet to reply, but the service manager has multiple times. He has attempted to explain the charges but could not explain why I was charge the extra $442 without my authorization, his reply is full of contradictions and no actual explanation as to why I was charged the extra fee without my consent or knowledge other than to say it was procedure. If they are willing to do this to me....
