Repair/Service: Work it didn't need

Hourly Rate: $2000

Total Cost: $2000

We strongly recommend not to use this Mechanic Service! From work they did a couple of weeks previous, they had removed the transmission fluid. They did not replace it, but returned the car. The car died and had to be towed. Surprise! The transmission needed to be replaced. They kept it and did not work on from 11/7/2003 until Summer of 2004. They tried to buy our car from us for cheap several times. Only under threat did they complete the job at the cost to us of $1619.22 (For USED parts). Even though they were at fault. We had the car towed to another mechanic who checked it over and found that the engine fan had been turned around and would have blown the engine had we driven it. This is not to mention the cylinder head for engine, head gasket, valve cover, gasket, intake manifold gasket and etc. totaling $1145.55 not too long prior to the transmission rebuilt. Or the brakes and etc. Every time the car went in, it came out worse. This car had worked very well for 3-4 years...but these guys tried to tell us it was a Friday/Monday car ...as if they car was a lemon. It wasn't until THEY touched it. It has worked well for the last 5 they haven't seen it. The worst of it all was the attitude of the workers. They didn't care and wouldn't work on it...then tried to tell us they were not working on it as a favor?!! If you like your car, we would recommend you find a real (in our opinion) mechanic and avoid this place at all cost...or it will be at all YOUR cost!
