Marios Auto Clinic

Review: Had a horrible experience with the owner of this business. Unprofessional, Liar, Manipulator, unsafe location, left car unlocked and it got robbed, end result unfinished repair and threatened with physical violence and told he is not going to finish repair because he cant afford a rental car.Here's the story: My girlfriends jeep had a transmission failure. My neighbor recommended I go to him because he could rebuild it. Took to the Dealer first to verify problem and get a estimate( they did mention that these cant be rebuilt, But [redacted] insisted that it can be done). It was like 4500.00. [redacted] came in at 2600.00. All I can say is I got what I paid for, but worse. When I brought it to him he seemed very eager to do the job. I asked him to please make sure that the transmission needed to be replaced before he went through with it. He said yes this was the problem. He explained it would take 5 to 7 days due to ordering parts from out of state. So my girlfriend had no choice but to borrow my gas guzzler f250. after a week he said his "bench guy" is way backed up and he is guy that will be doing the rebuild of the transmission, so it will be another week. At this point [redacted] had a promise date that has now moved to a week later. We insisted he find a ride for us as we cant afford driving around the f250. He actually let us borrow a car that he owes money to my neighbor which we had no choice but to use it for what ended up being 2.5 more weeks. After promise date after promise date, because of delays like " after I got it back together it started leaking because of a bad gasket I got" and then he broke a antifreeze line and had t fix that. at that point we were not interested in drive this car around illegally so I insisted that he pay for a rental car for a few days while he fixed it. he did comply. he also split the flashlight that got stolen out of the jeep during its stay there because he left the doors unlocked in the jeep. the fence is real low, anyone can hop it and theft anything. so after realizing ive been robbed, talked to disrespectfully, and down too like I don't know anything about auto repair, I started realizing we are in a bad situation and at this guys mercy. not a good feeling. he returns the car saying he test drove and when he arrived to our house with the car, antifreeze spills all over my driveway and he doesn't even jump to move the car to he dirt area. he clamed it was water from the ac. well, clearly I know that red or green fluid is antifreeze. we jump in the car and drive it around andit can hardly climb a small hill on my property. massive hesitation is where we were right before the jeep completely stopped moving. I said hey man you need to fix this and we are not going to pay for a car rental and he refused the repair and warranty on this repair. then he wouldn't leave my property and was trying to get me to fight him. I had to call the police.Do not go to this man for a simple repair. he will scam you and leave you high and dry. We are now forced to trade in the vehicle asap and now get back into a car debt. Thanks a lot....Desired Settlement: refund in the amount of a cash or check for 2243.67

He actually let us borrow a car that he owes money to my neighbor which we had no choice but to use it for what ended up being 2.5 more weeks. After promise date after promise date, roughly 35 days into his, he brings the car back and it starts leaking antifreeze allover the ground. we test drove it and it cant even climb small hills in 1st gear. Insisted he take it back to fix and pay for a rental car. He denied the warranty work and will not pay for rental car. He then would not leave the property and threatened me with physical violence. I had to call the police to get him to leave the property. Left with 2243.00 out of pocket and a unfinished repair of transmission.Desired Settlement: we would like a refund for a repair that is incomplete and he refuses to finish repair. he owes us 2243.00.
