Customer ReviewsforPal's Ocala Auto Repair

I took my car there because a headlight was burned out they said the car had aftermarket headlights it was going to be $800 to put regular headlights in called 5 months later they said it would be $1,500 and I needed to put at least $800 down to order parts. So I said no thank you and took it to another shop to get evaluated and they said that it's factory headlights and the bulb is just burned out

tTHIS IS MY REVIEW I WAS ASKED TO GIVE. WHEN I FINISHED IT THE SITE WOULD NOT LET ME P[OST IT. SO HERE IT IS. I WENT INTO THIS BUSINESS EARLY SATURDAY MORNING, AUGUST 27, 2022. I TOLD THE MANAGER I NEEDED A HEADLIGHT REPLACED. HE SAID HE WAS NOT SURE WHAT KIND IT SHOULD BE. I FIND THAT STRANGE THAT AN AAUTO REPAIR BUSINESS WOULD NOT KNOW HOW TO CHECK MY VEHICLE AND NOT KNOW WHICH BULB TO USE. HE THEN SAID IT LOOKS LIKE IT WILL BE A SPECIAL BULB (WHICH I FOUND LATER THAT DAY IS NOT TRUE) THEN HE SAID IT WOULD BE A 2 HOUR JOB (WHICH IS ALSO NOT TRUE, I FOUND THAT OUT LATER DAY DAY AS WELL) THEN HE SAID IT LOOKS LIKE IT MAY COST $250.00. I ASKED WHY AND HE IMMEDIATELY SAID GO AS THE BUSINESS NEXT DOOR AND THEY WILL TELL HOW EXPENSSIVE THAT LIGHT IS. (ALSO NOT TRUE, I ALSO FOUND OUT LATER THAT DAY0. BY THIS TIME I WAS NOT SURE THIS BUSINESS KNEW WHAT THEY WERE DOING. THEN I SAID NO THINK YOU, HE THEN SAID, "WELL GETTING A TICKET IS ALSO EXPENSIVE". NOT TRUE A FRIEND OF MINE IS A POLICE OFFICER AND HE SAID YOU WOULD GET A WARNING. THEREFORE I WOULD RATE THIS BUSINESS VERY LOW DUE TO THEIR LACK OF KNOWLEDGE ABOUT A BULB, PRICE OF LABOR, AND PRICE OF THE BULB. NONE OF WHAT HE SAID WAS TRUE. THEN WHEN I GOT INTO THE CAR TO LEAVE HE BEGAN TO TELL OTHER THINGS THAT WERE WRONG WITH MY CAY. I REPLIED IT HAS ALMOST 200,000 MILES, THERE WILL BE A LOT WRONG WITH THIS CAR, BUT, IT'S PAID FOR. I WOULD RECOMMEND THIS BUSINESS TO ANYONE.
