MARKHAM -- Starry -- RIP OFF !

my friend threw up in my car during late winter, i planned to save $$ and cleaned it myself.
the weather became really hot lately, n' i think becoz i hvn't cleaned the mess well enough before, which caused spiders to appear in my car !!! and there should be a family of them.. coz spider webs were "built" too..

my frd told me to go to this maintainance shop @ markham, called "Starry".. he first told me it was 220, then after i told him that my frd threw up on the seats be4, then he said i need to pay 280.
im ok with that, coz i dun wanna go some where else since my frd told me that this is the best place near my house.

then he KEPT on non-stop promoting these "special VIP offers" to me even when i rejected to listen.. ok @ the end.. he charged me $322, and said it's becoz tax wasn't included with $280... ****.. !! note: i have not heard of any chinese service places that charges tax..

at last, i took a look @ the "price list" that was placed infront of the cashier which i hvn't noticed be4, n' found out that nothing could add up to $322

info of the store:
Starry -- Excellent Car Wash & Care Center
416 399 1668
905 470 9386
Metro Sqaure, Markham
398 Ferrier St. Unit 118 (or indoor parking lot)

^^^ FYI, at most Chinese places, the price given generally includes taxes.

As for them ripping you off, maybe they did, maybe they didn't, but you shoulda called another shop to check up price.

BBB has like no power in the GTA, there location that was anywhere near the GTA closed down years ago.


I would have taken it to a proper detailing shop and shopped around prices.
