Autobahmn Daytona is a rip off. They quote you a price for two axels but when you pick up your car: “Surprise!!!” that was only one.
I was quotes $420 for front and back rotors brake pads replacement. Cash only! Well I thought – partgeeks.com sells Brembo rotors for $148/pair front and $106/pair rear. - $254 total. Zimmermann is cheaper – like rear rotors at $80/pair. http://www.partsgeek.com/catalog/2003/bmw/x5/brake/brake_rotor.html
Pads from the same source cost $85. They said: labor is about $100. Makes sense…. Well no.
It was $420 plus tax for the front only! That is the highest by far in the area. Avoid this place. Even when you agree over the phone, there is no guarantee that you get what you’ve been promised.
They did not charge me for fixing brake wires, but it broke before I got the highway. It looks like this place has interesting business model “screw up the customer he is not coming back anyway”.
The place is located in a not so very friendly neighborhood too. If I knew I’d do it myself. Use this place only there are no other mechanics in Daytona and you can’t hold wrench by yourself.
BTW somehow they wrote a couple of positive reviews on BMW forums. DO TRUST THEM.
