Very similar to the complaint left against this business, I'm leaving a review as there was ultimately no financial transaction with this companyMy truck broke down (blown head gasket) while traveling north on IBecause of the Google reviews I had the tow truck driver take the truck thereSince it was a big repair, I found another way home (miles away) and left him the truckHe quoted about 7-hours labor plus partsSounded fair
ButAfter weeks of me calling on a regular basis he finally said he would start on the truck the following MondayThat Friday morning (end of week 4) I called for an update and was told he would let me know something by the end of the day (ummmwhat have you been doing all week?)When he called me back he said, "There's water in the oilYou have to replace your engineHe happened to know where there was a used engine that he would sell me for $(plus lots more labor hours to replace the whole engine)What he didn't know was that I normally do all my own mechanic work and left it there for convenienceI contacted acquaintances (of whom are professional mechanics) who all laughed out loud when I told them the story and his diagnosis
After a $shipping cost to bring the truck back I lift the hood and I can tell from the dirt on the engine that nothing under the hood was touchedHe drained the oil, found water and without checking anything else tried to tell me I needed a whole new engineHead gaskets blow all the timewhen they blow, water and oil channels are no longer separatedOf course water will be in the oilweeks wasted on him putting me off and ultimately trying to cheat me, the truck is back home and I'll do the work myself
If you're repair is major or if you don't know about cars, use cautionIn my case, he appeared to be a thief and a liar and tried to take advantage of me but fortunately I had the automotive knowledge to not be taken in
