I went there after my male colleagues boasted about how good the service was, plus it's not too far from my work. The front tire of my small Yaris went flat and I replaced it with a spare. I was going to get the flat one fixed. Initially they gave me a quote: $32 to repair a tire and $65 for front wheel alignment, which was fine.
When I got there Alex (the guy there) had a look at the flat tire and said I will need a new one, cos I've been driving on the flat tire for too long and now its beyond repair. This was fine. Then he said that I need a specific brand of tire for my car (a lie and I knew it) and a new tire will cost me $220!!! He also said I cannot use the tire I fitted on the car, as it is unsuitable brand and will drag the car sideways (a lie, cos my dealership where I bought the car new gave me that tire specifically for my car).
My colleagues at work were shocked and so was I. They all agreed with me that this place is ripping me off. I told Alex at Beaurepaires that it was a ridiculous price for a tire and he said he could give me a discount of $10.
I am so angry that so many mechanics and tire service places are still happy to ripp someone off just because they are female and supposedly unaware of the market prices in the motor industry. I rang my local repairs and they were happy to do it for much cheaper.
Very disappointed with the Beaurepaires service.

Approximate cost: $220!
