I have been taking my car to Harold's for several years and until recently I haven't had any problems with them. About a month ago my Chevy Trailblazer started making noises. When I brought it over a mechanic told my wife and me that there were a number of things it could be, including the steering fluid pump and if that was it once it was replaced other pipes or hoses usually also spring leaks. So it turned out that was the problem and it cost us a lot of money to fix. A week later we started hearing the noise again and when I brought it back I was told that 2 pipes were leaking. So I'm thinking why didn't they replace them at the time if they knew this would happen, but I didn't say anything. The woman who worked there could read the look on my face and she shrugged her shoulders and said "it won't be that much." When it was fixed her father, Dana, was there and he hands me a bill for almost $400. So to me that's more than not much. My 3rd problem is with the labor in that bill. This was just a matter of removing 2 pipes and replacing them. If I remember correctly the labor was just under $200. How long could it take for the fluid to drain out? And the fluid was brand new so there was no reason I could see that it all had to be drained. Maybe I'm wrong but I'm not seeing why it took hours to replace two pipes. All the people who work there have always been friendly and I liked them, but at this point I'm probably going to be looking for a new mechanic.
