I came into this place a month ago & has been a nightmare ever sinceIt's been almost weeks later and I still don't have my car due to this places negligenceI was dealing with who seemed to be the owner LionelHis rebuilt engine was $cashHis regulation was to pay half up front $and the rest when the job was finishedI paid him the other half a week after I had paid him the first half because he had called me to assure me my engine would be finished by that week and wouldn't be able to release it back to my mechanic until I paid himHe only deals with the rebuilding, not the removal or the putting back in of the engineSo, I had my mechanic of years do that part for me First, he took over two weeks just to rebuild and return the engine to my mechanic, but when my mechanic finally put this engine back in the timing block was only at 60% & my car was knocking not wanting to turn onMy car was in worse condition than when I originally presented my engine to himAfter my mechanic calls me to tell me the engine was not rebuilt correctly, I then call LionelHe then had to have my vehicle towed from my mechanics shop to his place of businesseHe proceeds to tell me that his business wasn't prepared to lift my car up, but kept my vehicle just sitting for an entire week without as much as look at it, meanwhile I've had to scrape money for a rental to get to and from work for a week and before that, having to take public transportation & ubersI am about to lose my job waiting for this man to get this fixedMy job requires me to have a moving vehicleWhat should have been a $job, has now become a $nightmare and still going onI'm going on week and I still don't have my carHe called me the day before yesterday to tell me the timing chain was finally dealt with and towed it yesterday back to my mechanic againWhen I get yet another phone call from my mechanic saying that my engine is leaking and that he had talked to Lionel to let him know that if he wanted him to remove the engine and put it back in again in order to fix the leak, it would cost him another $Lionel refused to pay that and had asked him to remove my tire in order to attempt to tighten whatever screw needed to be tightenBut my mechanic warned me that the approach Lionel was trying to take was a half patched job and knew he had to remove the engine in order to fix the problem correctly and assured me that this engine would leak again, probably after the warranty of one year was upMy mechanic was even nice enough to let Lionel's mechanic use his shop to fix the work as he has the appropriate equipment, but Lionel refused and insisted in using his own mechanics that weren't available for yet another week on top of the already week long and extended waitI then desperately pleaded with him to find someone today, FridayKnowing he was closed Saturday & SundaysHe proceeded to tell me he couldn't do anything for me till moneySo I went to my mechanic to see the leak and take pictures and took them back to Lionel to show him proof that it was almost impossible to fix that problem correctly without removing the engineThen asked for the number to the mechanic that was supposedly working on my car Monday and when getting a hold of him, he proceeds to tell me he wasn't sure if he could even get this done die to his busy schedule and even if he could, it would take him at least a couple of days to do a job as tedious as thisAt this point I was almost in tearsNo car, I could I longer afford a rental and their wasn't even a sure date of when or if this job would even get doneI asked him for my money back but he refusedLeaving me in a vulnerable positionI honestly don't know what else I'm supposed to doI just want my car backEveryone has been paid for almost weeks now yet my car is still not runningI don't understand how they're still in business robbing hard working people of their money
