I have a 2007 Mazda 3. I took it to Yorkdale-Dufferin Mazda at Dufferin and Castlefield to get an oil change because it was convenient to where I was working.
A little background--I'm young (looking) and blonde and yes, my car is an older model. Prime target and definitely someone they thought they could take advantage of.
I get a call about an hour after dropping it off (for a simple oil change), saying that I need SEVEN HUNDRED dollars worth of work done to my car.
I was told I needed a new water pump and belt and that I was leaking coolant. Mind you, it was the middle of the summer and upwards of 30+ degrees practically everyday. My temp gauge had never gone up, my car had never overheated, I knew I wasn't leaking anything. So I told them not to proceed with the repairs, as my spidey sense was peaked. I've owned 6 cars and been driving for almost 15 years--I would KNOW if something was wrong.
I've since taken the car to TWO private mechanics. Both of whom say there is absolutely nothing wrong with my car. Four months later and my water pump and belts are working just fine with absolutely no repairs...
Nice try Y-D Mazda!! Next time, don't assume I'm a stupid damsel in distress. I will NOT be taken advantage of and rest assured, you will NEVER get another dollar from me. Ever.
Yours in true contempt,
The young bitch you thought you could swindle
