Business ProfileforTMC Auto Repair

On Friday November 8th of 2024 my car was dropped off for repair at TMC Auto Repair in anticipation for my appointment for November 11th of 2024 at 9:00 am. This was to be for servicing on my 2008 ***** IS 250. My partner reached out to the repair shop via **** prior to the appointment and had explained the issues which the mechanic told us were due to a faulty alternator. I was quoted the amount of $699 for this service. On the day of the appointment *** Auto notified us that the vehicle would be ready around 4pm and was being washed. I arrived around 4:15 and waited for the receptionist who told me the car was taken for a car wash and they would be back in about 5 minutes. I had not agreed for my car to be taken off site for the car wash. Being under the impression that my car was fixed I decided not to press further on the fact that I had not agreed for my vehicle to be taken off site and driven around. Being under the impression my car was nearby I paid the total for the repair which was $699. At this time they sent a text that service was complete but it wasnt. As I was waiting for my car to get back the receptionist walks in and tells me that my car had broken down on the way back from the car wash and that the cause was a bad battery and that they would have to replace it for an additional $220. They then told me the battery had blown the new alternator which would need to be replaced. They told me that was going to take an additional hour so I decided to go home and come back once my car was ready. They notified me that once it was running the battery was internally shorted caused the fuse to blow. They are charging me a total of $1,355.57 for the service not including the $699 I paid. It does not seem right to have to pay more due to the issues arising to their negligence in not checking the battery before the car was taken on the road. I had not given my permission for them to drive my car and just want them to own their negligence and fix my car.
