1 /5 Margaret: Courtesy charged me just under $250.00 to put my car on the lift to assess status; they recommended several thousand dollars in repairs. Son-in-law suggested a second opinion. Friend gave me the name of an independent, family-owned shop nearby. That shop didnt charge for an evaluation. The recommended repairs were different, and came in at 1/3 of Courtesys cost. I went with the less expensive shop and I couldnt be happier. Car runs perfectly and they have a customer for as long as they want me. If youre an older woman and not particularly car-savvy, Id avoid Courtesy.
