The owner and employees at Hesketh Automotive are dishonest thiefs. I have had previous problems with this shop including having to pay for parts theybrome during previous repairs but this time it was a flat out dishonest attempt to steal money from customers as I will explain below. 2002 Volkswagon Beetle 2.0L Ignition Coil Pack,?

So Hesketh tried to charge me $100 for a part they would pay leas th 209 for, and a labor charge of $120 for the removal and install of the Ignition Coil Pack which takes (According to various resources) 25 minutes.
