When we went there to get the car, they treated us well... The car was out of inspection, so they- as they should- inspected it for us. The mechanic made the statement that there was break fluid on the pads,and the owner told him to change them no charge. The hassle started shortly there after.
We received the 1000 mile warranty as a requirement, and the motor of the car died at 2500 miles. I had no issue with this: it was a used car that they got at an auction... it happens. My issue started about 30 minutes later.
When I called to inform Robert, the owner, that it had died and I was having it towed to his shop, he acted as if it was a bother for me to do so. I called the next afternoon to see if he had a chance to check it out, and he said that he found the motor and was going to get his ""other"" shop to get it and fix it.
That was Tuesday (keep track of this). I called on Thursday, and was told that they were going to come and get the car that afternoon or the next and that the car should be finished the next week.
I called on Tuesday (to the other shop ) -this was 1 week since I dropped it off- and was told that they had ordered the motor that day and that it would be in on Thursday and it would be on the road by Tuesday. (2 weeks since they I dropped it off)
I called on Tuesday and was told that the motor would be in the car by Thursday. I called Thursday and was told that the car was down off the lift and that they would have to test drive it, and it would be done Friday, Saturday at the latest (2 days to test drive the car??). He also said that he would call me as soon as the car was finished.
I didn t call, intentionally waiting to see if they would call... they did: On MONDAY evening (3 weeks since they got the car back).
On the way home from picking up the car, the check engine light came on again. I checked all of the fluids the next day:
engine oil was low
brake fluid was low
power steering fluid was EMPTY
DO NOT PURCHASE A CAR FROM THEM IF YOU ARE NOT A MECHANIC!!!!!
