I took my car in for a electrical problem, they had it for 4 hours in evening, they said it was the battery. I told them to change it. I called the next day @ 11am. The mech. had no idea about battery. I told them I already gave ok to change and I needed to know as I have a long trip to make and needed the car. I called later and they said the car was completed. That evening drove to south Texas and it broke down, for an ELECTRICAL PROBLEM. Had to pay for 2 towing and another shop to change alternator. Next mechanic assured me if they checked, they would have seen alternator was bad. The first morning it failed in South Texas, I called Paladin, they said if I buy another battery, just bring them the battery they sold me and I would get my $320 back. I bought another battery on their word. I could have just charged it but that would have taken longer and I needed to try to get it to another shop with out towing. I got back to Austin and took the battery back. He only offered me $120 for the battery. We got into it. He later said he would do me a favor and give me $150 and asked me if I new what giving me $320 would do to his shop. I told him I did not care, I also have a family. I informed him I would take $210 for the battery and I would go and not do any of these letters. I just wanted to recoup some money and said what I had to in order to get something back. He agreed. Of course he only had $204 so that tells me he never had any intension of giving me my money due to the fact I told him I was coming buy there and he never told me anything about it. He never admitted to doing anything wrong even thou it had the same problem on the same day. I should have known, this guy wears cut up wife beater shirts everyday. DO NOT GO THERE. He will talk you into high dollar parts to make more money. DO NOT GO THERE, DO NOT GO THERE, DO NOT GO THERE.
