Cornell BP Auto Repair- Hyde Park

Note to self: stop going here for car maintenance! I've been going here for over 20 years but now they charge exactly what the Toyota dealership charges. Two days ago we got one of our two Toyota hybrid cars serviced at the dealership and we paid $130 for oil & filter change and tire rotation. Today we took the other one in to the Cornell BP station for the exact same maintenance assuming it would be cheaper. The bill was identical. When I told the lady at BP this, she flat out said she didn't believe me, which is just rude. I told her I could show her the receipt. Then she said that they use a special synthetic oil for hybrids, that's why the cost is high. As if the Toyota dealership would use anything else for cars that require synthetic oil. The thing is that BP has no fixed prices -- they charge you what they think they can get away with. I had made it a point to ask Toyota if their charges change for different cars and they said no and pointed to the displayed price chart. It's just not worth going to this local mechanic.
