Apex Quality Muffler & Brakes

I was hearing a noise in the front end of my car so I took it to apex as we had been doing business with them for the last 16 years and to my amazement I Was charged for parts that were never installed. Not once but twice. When I advised them of this, the first time I was told they would get back to me. Then in August 2014 I took it to have the same noise looked at. I was told I needed a strut mount and a stabilizing bar. So it was installed or so I was told and I paid for it. The noise continued. I returned and was told that the ball bearings in steering column were dry and needed to be sprayed with wd40. Noise continued. I took it to another mechanic and was told I needed the exact things replaced that I had apex replace. So of course I had my car fixed. To the tune of $ 295. For which I had already had paid apex $ 443.00. And I was told that the parts that apex had supposedly replace were the original parts of my car, I went and talked to Eli the manager he basically yd me I was lying the parts did not indicate they were factory installed and that apex guaranteed parts for one year but due to the enertia. Parts wear out!!! Seriously!!! I he asked what wafts satisfactory amour tosettle I told him $ 165. The initial first repair and he sAid he would get back to me which he never did. 4 days later I contacted him. He told me the owner offered $ 70.00 and I told him no. With thAt he sAid that’s all he had to say and hung up one. I am absolutely sick about this I trusted this to a place we had used for years but mainly because I was cheated and lied to for being at one time such a reputable garage it is now run by A person who does not back up any work done by mechanics and who blatantly cheats people and lies to people and endangers their life by not fixing the car but mostly they steal from the customer their customers who were loyal to them .,

Very friendly and helpful staff
