Nice enough people in person, but feel they utterly fleeced me. I was traveling to Scranton for work from out of state, and car broke down just outside town. Had it towed to Scranton Auto Repair. They charged $238.40 for diagnostic that took maybe 30 minutes to determine that the ground cables were loose or faulty- diagnostic would have been maybe $150 anywhere else. Then they charged me $371.93 for parts and labor to replace the ground cables - my local Honda dealership quoted cost for parts and labor to be $142.72 since that too is about a 30 minute job. I feel that they took advantage of me since I was from out of state and stranded. Oh, they did give me 5 minute ride to my work site, which was nice, but not worth the amount I was overcharged.
Edited to add: I do admit that I approved the repair at that price since I was under duress- needed the car back, and did not have the luxury of calling around to find a better price.
