Nah, the Mr. Tire in Dunkirk. They break extra stuff for you while your car is there.

Go to Ken Dixon in Waldorf. They can offer to rebuild your transmission for $2,800, then charge you $3,400, give you a 1 year warranty, and then the transmission dies after 18 months.

I remember my last visit ever to Mr. Tire in LaPlata. Needed brakes....Got a call that it would be $500+..

Asked the guy to break down the costs......told me each rotor would be $134....told him to hold off until I called back...

called NAPA to price them....$34 a piece.....

called him back, he said he'd adjust the price to $34 each........

Mr. Tire

Any time you take your own parts to a shop to have them installed, you are probably going to be disapointed in what they charge you. Nearly every job they perform is based on earning money from two sources:

the difference between what they pay for parts (jobber) and what they charge you for those parts (retail).

Some shops have a sign prominently displayed that clearly says you cannot bring your own parts in with you..to avoid this kind of incident.
