Gateway Automotive Experts (Mount Vernon)
This was my exact experience with them and it's not a matter of personal opinion, they really tried doing this to me. I needed a new body control module for my car and according to the technicians at the dealership, a brand new one cost about $800. This auto shop tried charging me $1400 for the BCM plus $1200 for "labor and programming" but programming could cost not much more than $150 elsewhere and the labor was so simple I did it myself in 10 minutes and i'm not even mechanically inclined. Of course, I didnt question it at first because they're mechanics and I was told I can trust them. Mechanics serve a purpose in the world we live in and ultimately we pay them because we trust they're going to take care of us, right? But no, these guys tried ripping me off terribly, and I was also in an emergency situation at the time and needed help. They said they're the ones who got ripped off because they bought the BCM for $1400 but there's no way Nissan did that to them and if they bought it elsewhere then even that is an example of how unprofessional they are. My advice to ANYONE.....don't go here. To do so would be wrong to yourself and you'd also be supporting bad business. They have a pretty looking shop though ;)
