Buyers at rival dealers describe charges they did not agree to. In an April 2026 Google review of Mercedes-Benz of Austin, a reviewer wrote: “I am a long time customer of Mercedes-Benz. I recently had the 50k service done on a vehicle I bought from MB of Austin. Service advisor told me I needed new tires so I signed the online additional agreement that listed my new bill with a total of $3,000. When I picked up my car the total was $3,700. They said it was a known glitch in their system that removed some parts from the total bill and I had to pay the extra $700 anyway to get my car back. MB of Austin has evidently known about this glitch for a long time, but doesn’t care enough about their customers to get it corrected.”
Clear pricing before the work is what the store’s own reviewers describe in the service pricing section.
Frequently asked questions
What should a written repair estimate list before you approve the work?
A written estimate should list the repairs to be done, the completion date, and the form of payment. It should itemize the cost of parts and labor, state whether parts are new or rebuilt, and include any storage fees or other charges, with the customer’s signature (Texas RioGrande Legal Aid, 2022).
What is a diagnostic fee, and what should you ask about it before approving a repair?
Many repair shops charge for diagnostic time, so ask in advance whether a diagnostic charge applies if the repair is done somewhere else. The shop should tell you before a computer diagnosis is needed, because charging for one without prior notice is listed as a deceptive practice. The shop must get your written approval before performing repairs (Office of the Attorney General of Texas, Car Repair Tips).
