August 1998

To whom this may concern; I brought my daughter's car in for seatbelt repair. There was failure of the shoulder strap to open when getting into the car. My complaint is with the dealership hammonton auto group white horse pike hammonton nj. On 6/25 the car was brought in- charging $80 to diagnose that the switch on the passenger side needed replacing. The part cost $10 the job was to cost $260 - which I feel was a customer ripoff. We decided to get the job done despite the outrageous cost.
