I booked a car for brake fluid flush, however I found brake fluid leakage one side.
I brought it to the attention of the mechanic when I left car this morning. He showed me a cut on hose and stated it require replacement, and he can't let me drive the car because it's unsafe. Fair enough!
He gave me pricing and stated the car will be ready in next 4 hours.
Afterwards I rang couple of mechanics and they quoted me $115 less for the same fix. Overall they quoted $150 less including fluid flush. They stated the labour will be less as they would have already taken off the wheel for repair.
I also rang local Ford dealer who quoted me a price for a genuine part which was $40 less than what I was quoted by this mechanic.
Should I question mechanic when I go to pick up the car and ask for some discount?
Many thanks
If you have already told him to go ahead with the work DON’T check other prices.
