Business ProfileforExline Automotive

I took my **** to exline automotive to diagnose any issues from an auto accident ( I was rear-ended on November 3, 2022) I was instructed by the body shop that I took it to, to take it to a mechanic shop the specialized in off road vehicles. I was recommended by another **** owner that this place was good for off road vehicles. I took it to them on 21 November, because that was the earliest they could see me, with the instructions to check the rear axle housing, rear drive line, transfer case and all other areas that may have been damaged upon the impact. Instead they tried to diagnose a squeak without ever looking into the other issues. They then took my rear differential cover off and looked at my gears and lockers, with a diagnosis that my gears were "completely rusted out and needed to be replaced". I thought this sounded a little excessive for the small scratches that were on the cover. I asked for pictures and was told that they would be provided when I brought it in for repairs. I asked them to put the cover back on and refill the oil so that I could pick it up, because I did not have a rental car or another vehicle. They charged me $213 less a 10% military discount to pick it up. I was also told that these repairs would be out of my own pocket because they were not as a result of the accident. I took it to the local dealership on November 22 and explained to them what the issue was and was told the next day that my gears were fine, that my **** had basically no damage (other than scratches on the bumper that is being replaced by another company). Upon request pictures were taken of the gears showing no damage or no rust. I feel that they saw a woman service member and thought they could take advantage of her and get money out of her.
