I was charged $750 and a week's worth of labor for a $22 part that takes an hour to install. I looked up the EXACT part and what it costs, I'll even attach it for reference. I was greeted with awful customer service, start to finish. From forgetting my name, not communicating, and charging me $300 more than what I was quoted (all for a $22 part). After being upcharged, I asked if there were any payment options or financing (very common). I was then lectured about how I needed to ask that before agreeing to work and on and on. John; I'm paying you to fix a car, not to listen to your disrespectful and inappropriate advice. Questions about financing are extremely common, especially when you're robbing your customers blind. If payment options aren't considered, be a professional and communicate that up front. Don't wait until after you've already got your customers by the throat, then try and make them feel stupid. That's unprofessional and cowardly. The responsibility for communicating YOUR policy is 100% on YOU. It is NOT the customers responsibility to set and communicate policies for your business. I was upcharged on EVERYTHING for no reason. Even the towing cost was $170. I asked specifically for his towing price range, he said between $100-$125 depending on the distance. The car was towed EXACTLY 4 miles from Perrin. How close do you need to be? How do you justify such piracy? In addition to the blatant disrespect and outrageous prices, Perrin did a halfway fix; literally using tape to secure a part. I can no longer lock or unlock my car; they didn't even bother coding the new key for the ignition, they just taped the old one in the car somewhere. When it falls out, the car will be inoperable. I cannot believe that Perrin charged me $750 for a $22 part, customers be warned: Perrin will take advantage of you and do terrible work.

Dealer response

This account of what happened is not accurate. I spoke with this customer multiple times on the phone about what exactly was wrong with the car and the cost to repair the car towing was a little higher due to accessibility of the car (the way it was parked). I can't just drive a tow truck on to his neighbor's lawn to get his car. The parts were not $22.00 they were $219.00 my cost and if it was so easy to fix why didn't he do it himself? Everything is easy on Google!! This is just not true, he was quoted $500.00 to fix the car plus towing and we actually where under that, the entire steering column has to be removed to replace the key and lock cylinder due to the factory using rivets to hold them in they must be cut or drilled out. The reason for the key being attached to the steering column is because of the cars anti-theft device, the keys must be programmed to the car, they are VIN specific. If the car would have gone to the Honda dealer it would've have been at least 2 times more for the repairs. It wasn't the key, it was the lock cylinder that was broken that the key goes into therefore the entire lock assembly needed to be replaced. Customer also posted a negative review on Google Business on 8JUNE22 and later retracted the complaint. Explanation of Charges: Towing: $170.00 Keys and Cylinder Switch: 256.96 Labor: 300.00--3 hours at $100 per hour 6% Sales Tax: 15.42 Total Bill: $742.38 Complainant was not charged for a week's labor as stated. Obviously a week's worth of labor would be more than $300.00. On 11JUN22 customer called and spoke with our service manager and everything was explained in detail. After explaining everything, the complainant acknowledged a better understanding of the charges at that time and removed his Google post. After the repairs were completed customer was called to inform him that the vehicle was completed and ready for pickup. And then at that time he asked if he could make installment payments. To which of course the answer was no. He also would've been told that before repairs were completed IF HE HAD ASKED BEFOREHAND. We do not take installment payments for auto repairs from anyone.
