Repair/Service: abs and traction control problem

Hourly Rate: $75

Total Cost: $259.90

I took my wife’s car to McBrides (214 E. 2nd St Dover, OH) because I was told that they were the best at figuring out strange electrical problems. I dropped the car off on a Sunday night to get the traction control fixed and anti-lock brake system fixed. I told them specifically what the issue was and asked them to take a look. After having kept the car 10 days they charged me $180.95 for a wheel speed sensor, $33.00 for the installation of that sensor and $45.95 for scanning the cars computer to find the problem, a grand total of $259.90. When the car was returned the traction control and anti-lock brakes were not fixed and the car is still unsafe to drive. I asked the good people at McBrides what they planned to do and they said since they could not get their money back for the sensor that I was expected to pay for it anyway. It is very sad that they would treat anyone that way let alone a Combat Veteran of Afghanistan. Beware they will take your money and if they can’t fix your problem they will charge you hundreds of dollars anyway.

I was told at a local dealer that I needed a 600 dollar repair. A friend sent me to McBride's, for a second opinion. They did a service on the air intake. Car has been fine for months. Thank you so much!

Repair/Service: Timing belt

Hourly Rate: $58.70

Total Cost: $400.00

I have a Honda and took it to the dealer where I purchased it for the timing belt maintenance. The estimate was over $800. I was told about McBrides in Dover so I called them for an estimate. Just about half the cost at a little over $400. The also found a radiator hose that was bad and replaced it at the same time for no additional labor. Great people, very nice and honest. Marcus explained everything in detail and kept me informed the entire time. I recommend McBrides to everyone!
