I brought my 2014 Jeep to change a fog light and drain water from my driver-side door. My appointment was scheduled for 10:00 am I was there at 9:30 am. I noticed there were a lot of cars and they were busy. That was confirmed when I went inside. I patiently waited until 11:00 am to ask about the status of my vehicle. I was told they are now reviewing my car. After 30 minutes, I was advised to drain my car. It will cost me $77.00, which is fine; After a few minutes later, I was told the light bulb I previously had in the jeep was aftermarket, which I was unaware of as this is a used car I purchased almost two years ago. They said they would need to change both lights to match. I requested it is a halogen light. They said I was being charged $239.00 to switch both fog lights, which I thought was outrageous. He added it's the highest grade (I googled the price. Even the highest quality of Sylvania is not that expensive). I asked how much the light was, but he avoided answering my question. At the same time, I noticed his coworker was busy speaking to another coworker and stopped what he was doing to listen to the conversation, which I thought was odd. It's like he knew that price didn't sound right but didn't say anything. At this point, I had to go, so I agreed to pay after waiting another hour. I was told they could change the fog light for the ride side, but on the left side, the wiring is wrong. Mind you; it's now lunchtime. A customer who came after me was taken care of, and now the office is pretty much empty. He did advise me it would take 30 min to drain the car, which I was okay with, but we are coming up on 2 in half hours of being there. He then advised me he knew I needed to get out of there, so I should come back to change the left light because the wiring on the left side was messed up, and they will need to order a connector. As a courtesy, he will not charge me for the connector but will charge me an additional $28.00 for labor. So when I come back, they can pop in the connector and change the light bulb ( again, I googled the connector, and it's inexpensive, but he played it up like he was doing me a favor). I ended up paying $267.00 for changing a light bulb, and when I asked for a breakdown, he stated oh, we don't do itemized billing which is a lie because I came to Getz two times prior and received a breakdown with no problem, and labor was not expensive. They charged me this much before noticing the wiring was wrong. Regardless if I had an aftermarket light bulb, it's not much work to pull out a light bulb and change it. I feel I was taken advantage and I'm unsure as to why. I'm very disappointed that I had to pay almost $300 for a fog light change. On my prior visit, I dealt with another gentleman who sat at the back desk who was helpful, detailed and patient. The guy I dealt with yesterday sat closer to the window near the entrance and avoided answering my question on price. I guess this will be the last time I go to Getz. It's unfortunate because my prior experience was great.
Update: 12/7/22 I spoke to the manager; he wasn't much help when it came to the price and pretty much said it is what it is, but he did state he will look into the cost and clarified the price includes a three-year warranty. They had to order the connector. Chris paid out of his own pocket because he felt bad how long I had to wait the initial time. The cost of the connector was more than I expected. Thank ran into some problems but that due the my car not in there part. overall they wanted to make sure I was taken care of and were able to fit me in to put in the connector so that the light bulb would fit perfectly. I hate how the experience started, but I appreciate them still being able to rectify the problem. I can't entirely agree with the price, but as the manager said, it is what it is. In the beginning I was upset with Chris but through the process he did try his best and always kept me up to date with everything. read more
