To be frank, I think Barbosa & Son is a nice establishment. As a newcomer to Providence, I brought…read moremy car here for an oil change and an out-of-state inspection. Both times I was treated with respect and found the prices for both of those things to be reasonable. My oil change was around $60 and the inspection was around $30. I also had my air filter and cabin air filter replaced when they completed my oil change. They, however, allowed leaves to drop into my cabin air filter so when ever my AC unit was turned on my car made a rattling sound from the air blowing pass the leaves. Anyone who owns a car knows how mind-boggling any random car sound could be so that really initiated my return to the establishment. I wanted them to 1) remove the leaves that they allowed fall into the filter holder 2) replace an expired head bulb and 3) check to see why the head bulb expired so quickly after having recently changed it. Yesterday I dropped my car off to have my high beam changed ($24) and for them to just look at my car because I was preparing to drive back down to NC the following week. The owner/mechanic called me and told me that my car was 4K miles shy from needing new spark plugs and quoted me $200 for them. I did ask him to check the spark plugs/fuses because my headlight was just replaced last year with the highest quality bulb and U found it strange for its lifespan to have ended so soon. After speaking with the owner/mechanic, I told him that I'd wait for the spark plugs because I knew that my grandfather in NC could replace them for a third of the price. Today I picked up my car and my total was $124. They charged me $100/hour for my "road test inspection". The road inspection included: reviewing my spark plugs (which they did not change) and removing the leaves from the cabin air filter. I'll make an assumption that they checked the oil (which they changed only a few weeks ago) and other fluids (which are normally checked during oil changes). All that to say, no one 1) told me there was a $100/hour fee for labor, 2) common business courtesy would reveal that you shouldn't charge a patron for a mistake you made (leaves in the filter), and lastly, checking spark plugs doesn't cost $100. I actually prefer to help small businesses, but hidden costs and refusing to be upfront with customers is why individuals visit commercial shops for all of their car services. Although Barbosa's has a nice establishment, I'm afraid that their communication with the customer and transparency about their pricing and process is a bit lackluster and outdated. I'll probably never visit the establishment again, but future patrons should be aware. And to be even more honest, finding any decent and honorable car shop in Providence is even more of a joke than it should be.

Advising something like this goes against ASE recommendations where depth on both tires sharing the same axle are similar depth. This is why I asked if they happen to have a used tire that had a similar wear pattern rather than replacing it with a brand new one otherwise I would have to replace at least two on the drive axle in order for the differential to not suffer unnecessarily wear and tear. It is my understanding that they do not sell Used tires which from insurance standpoint makes sense. I was about ready to purchase all new tires, but because of this unnecessary interaction, I'm taking my business elsewhere. If he did some homework or actually went to mechanic school like this particular potential customer. He would be aware that the differential is housed in the transaxle of a front wheel drive vehicle.
