My little sister just moved to Baltimore, MD and is trying to get her car registered. The shop she took her 1993 Civic to is trying to screw her over because they know she's not knowledgeable about cars and can't fix things herself. They basically gave her a bogus list of repairs that need to be fixed before they'll approve her car that totals $1300.
I called the Honda shop here in my town and they said that in 15 years they've never had to replace the parts this guy is listing. The only thing that they thought was a real problem is a cracked CV boot that we already knew about.
Can someone recommend a shop that isn't going to try and screw her over? She actually lives in Cockeysville, but if she can get treated right, would be willing to drive anywhere reasonable.
Thanks in advance for any help.
look for fourth gen hatch, he went round and round with repairs on his hatch before they finally let him register, but he got the same thing, some shops were straight up liars, forcing him to fix unecessary things. It seems like he found a Poloc who was, im his word, "crooked" that took care of him for a few dollars cash.
