As a woman I feel that every time I go to a mechanics shop, I get marked as an ""easy"" target. I have been to quite a few shops in Nashville & Franklin, TN and with few exceptions this has happened. I schedule an appointment for service and get back a laundry list of ""needed repairs"". A girlfriend of mine said I should try Ted's shop, she has had good experiences with them. So I drove my Toyota in to them for what I thought was a tune up. I told the mechanic at the counter about my problem and he said he would check my car over & someone would call me to let me know what they recommended. About an hour later I got a call and was told they had my car ready. I was immediatley worried as I had not authorized any kind of repair to be made, and when I asked Ted on the phone what was done, he said they replaced some vacuum hoses that were cracked. I asked him what I owed him, and he said pay for the hoses and that would be it. WOW!
