This business does not pass the ""lone woman visiting garage"" litmus test. I went there today, alone, for an oil change. Apparently, I they took one look at me and decided I was an idiot, and a mark. I am an idiot about cars, but I'm not an idiot in general. So when they called me to tell me that they had conducted their seven point safety check, and found that I needed to buy a $170 new battery from them because mine failed their test, I did not say yes right away. I called my favorite, extremely talented mechanic, who happens to be my husband. We tested my battery when we got home; it is fine, fully charged, in perfect condition. And a new battery at the local auto store was $84.
