I dropped my car here because it broke down nearby. They defined the project as a broken timing belt and estimated about $900. My regular mechanic in Tampa offers the same service for $500. I moved the car there and begrudgingly paid a $78 inspection fee Automotive One charged to look at the vehicle. Bottom line, I'm acustomed to inspection fees ranging from $0 - $50. In this case it was a cursury inspection and it was wrong. The camshaft was frozen and the timing belt was symtomatic. Given that, I didn't think the $78 fee was really earned or warrented. However, they were very nice about the entire matter.
