We purchased a 2013 Chevy Malibu from a wonderful dealer in Arlington, VA. We brought the car in, and I was verbally told that there were 3 items that needed repair to pass inspection, rear rotors, upper control arms (which requires an alignment after replacing) and windshield wipers. The repairs would cost $2265.00. They did their own inspection and found "other issues" wrong with the car totaling an additional $2603.81. I think you will begin to understand the pattern I am about to start demonstrating. We physically went into the shop and asked for a list of what failed the Maryland State Inspection, as they do not provide you with that checklist, just their inspection report that has multiple things having nothing to do with a Maryland State Inspection. We got a list of the 3 items mentioned above, rear rotors, upper control arms (which requires an alignment after replacing) and windshield wipers. On the line item with the upper control arms, they also listed rear shocks which was not communicated over the phone. We paid for the inspection and took the vehicle back to the dealership where they completed the repairs. I dropped the car off first thing in the morning to have the car re-inspected. To my surprise I was called and told all the repairs were not done and there was another “list” of items needing to be repaired. During this time, my other daughter’s car, a Mazda 6, failed to start and we jump started it and brought it in as we thought it could be an alternator or starter. When I dropped the car off, I spoke with Sam, who asked me questions including are there any lights on in the car as that can impact whether the vehicle starts or not, hmmm. I explained to her that yes, the check engine light was on, but I have a diagnostic tool and I know that the O2 sensor is bad, and we are just looking to get the car operating again. We were charged $300 for a new battery, and I was told that the O2 sensor really needed to be replaced because it impacts the way the car functions and that this would be $400, we also got a $60 oil change while we were there, this should have totaled $760 before taxes. Our bill was almost $1100 because they charged us over $200 for a diagnostic fee to check why the check engine light was on. Not only did I not authorize that, I knew why the check engine light was on, I told them when I dropped it off. I will also point out, that they did their “inspection” before even looking at the alternator and my car was delayed a day because they did not have time to look at the alternator, yet that had time to write up an inspection telling me I needed over $6000 worth of work done to this car. Again, the pattern. When I received the call about my Chevy Malibu not passing inspection and now there was a new list of problems, I was very upset and asked for my car back. This is where the pattern of these “inspections” became very clear to me. At this point I do not think they are honest nor trustworthy and they are simply looking to make money from unassuming customers who are just looking for an honest place to have their vehicles serviced. I went in and picked up my car, which I will say they did waive the $30 re-inspection fee, and took my vehicle to what I think is a much more reputable service center. They did my inspection and 1 item failed, the tint on the windows. This was not even picked up by Walter Eger. I had the tint removed the same day by another fabulous service place and took my car back for re-inspection, which was free here by the way, and my car passed inspection without the additional things that Walter Eger tried to tell me was wrong with my car. I know that this review was lengthy but if you made it this far, thank you for reading and please take your car somewhere else. These are nice people; they are simply not honest and just want to make a dollar off of you.
