What is the issue?

First, most DEALER shops will tell you it is 1 hour labor time to even look at the car. And by letting them look at it you are agreeing to that.

Second, all shops will drop that "diagnosis fee" if you allow them to fix the car.

Third, why is it wrong for them to charge for their tech and lift time?

If you have bent suspension parts and need time to check if the car is true, it is not unreasonable to expect to pay 1 hour in diagnosis.

When a car is in a wreck is it unreasonable to have a tear down?
