my car stalled, I pulled off Highway in a small town on a Sat in July. Only place open was Meineke (car dealer shop not open til Monday) he ran initial test found nothing - came back an hour later and tried to get me to pay $800.00 for an alternator but I would have to stay in the little hotel down the road until Tues when he could get it. Keep in mind in had a 1 week vaca and was 3/4 of the way to my destination and he knew it. I declined and paid him the test fee of $62.00. went on Monday to the car dealer in my destination in Florida who did many tests trying to confirm what they found and could not. only needed a battery but because Meineke said alternator and the distance I was from home 1, 000 miles they took an extra 2 days to inspect things and I needed to rent a car for 3 days an expense that was NOT necessary had Meineke done there job and just given me the battery I needed.
