my car broke down on my way to work.my car just shut off and it wont start again so i called a shop that i always go to and they send me a tow truck.i left my car at the shop and later called me and tell me that i need to replace my alternator. i ask them how much it will cost me?and they said it will cost me $390.00 i was kind of shock that it cost that much to change the alternator so i told them not to do anything.i went back to the shop to get my car, i told them that i dont wanna get my car fix for now.but the guy still charge me 160 dollars for the tow and for checking the car which is i think too much.did they just over charge me?Am i being rob by autoshop?
He probably charged you because you have the writing skills of a retarded third grader. Perhaps some basic English classes might help.

Well some places are much more pricey than others, so if thats his fee then thats what you'll need to pay. Thats a shame. I bought a used alternator for 30 bucks and had it installed for 10.Am i being rob by autoshop?
Were you overcharged? I can't tell from the information given.
How far was your car towed? How long did the mechanics work on the car to diagnose the problem?
What is the rate charged for shop time? How does the company compute towing charges?
Depending on circumstances $160.00 could be close to the average charge for the services provided.Am i being rob by autoshop?
A tow usually runs for about 120-150. Sounds reasonable to me.
