After my first few experiences I thought this was great I finally found a mechanic I could trust. I recommended him to two other people, and they did not agree. They had bad experiences. I still gave Premier Auto the benefit of the doubt and continued to go to them. While my car was in for service I asked for them to locate and check my power steering fluid reservoir because I was getting some steering noise. On my car it is difficult to see the power steering pump. I was told the fluid level was good so that was not the problem. I was told for $200 they could do a power steering flush and it might resolve the problem, if it did not then I was probably looking at replacing the pump which would be a much more expensive repair. I did not have the money to spend on a flush that may not work and I would still have to pay to replace the pump. So, luckily I declined the flush. I was discussing the issue and it came up that I had not personally seen the fluid level. It never occurred to me that they would have lied about the fluid level. So, I had the fluid level checked and saw for my self that my power steering fluid level was extremely low, we refilled it and the noise is gone. I feel like they tried to take advantage of me and they are not trustworthy. I feel it is one thing to charge too much for a service, or even to make a mistake about the repair needed, but to straight up lie to my face. This was a simple issue there either was or was not fluid.
