I went to an auto mechanic to get my car fixed. I asked for an estimate on the repairs. I was told that it would be $2500. I told them that it was a lot, but to go ahead.
When I called back today, they told me that my car was finished, but the total cost was $4200.
That's more than my Chevy S-10 is worth. If they had told me it would cost that much, I would have never agreed to their services.
Can they legally charge me almost twice the estimated cost without having informed me of the price increase?
