They deceive you that they are cheaper than others, but they charge you double the price with lots of excuses. T-Lex pretends he is cheaper than the dealership, but you would end up paying more or the same. I have been going to the T-Lex for over 7 years for my Lexus and Acura . T-Lex was not the cheapest, but sometimes better than the dealership. Today I have replaced the rear Struts/shocks and they quoted me for 3 hours at $90/hr ($270). Loui (the mechanic) insisted the job will take the full 3 hours. I stayed at the shop and the job took exactly 1.5 hours. Basil came up with a lot of excuses saying the so-called "mechanics booking hour" is double or sometimes triple the real hour!
He charged me double ($180/hr) for the service, but I will never go to
T-Lex again. Enough is enough. No more lying to me and no more $ for T-Lex. Avoid T-Lex if you can. Find other honest mechanics. save the hassle of getting ripped off.
