AA just ran well in excess of $1,000 over budget on my 914. I dont dispute the necessity of the work or the pricing of the work. However, they went way too far when I told them to what my budget was. The official company line is this was a "misunderstanding".
In all candor, Shon and Daniel in the shop were great to work with. Shon got put in the middle between George and I when George suddenly dropped the problem on his lap. AA fooled me once on bad customer service. Now they fooled me twice. Shame on me for trusting them. Never again! To keep a potential flame war off the site, PM me if you're interested in the story.
