2 /5 Vince: I dont know any mechanics in the area so I thought Id give this place a shot, it was close by and had decent reviews. Unfortunately I got the short end of the stick, Im sure for people that know the mechanics here personally it is fine, but anybody who drops in not knowing much.. theyll just do the minimal amount to get through the job. I had an evap leak that needed to be found, they found it and said it was my tank mounted fuel pump, aswell as my gascap and a little valve near the evap canister. I had already changed the gas cap but I just assumed this was a fault with what I had purchased, my first mistake. They said they needed to change the valve out under the car and fix the seal on the fuel pump. I was first quoted $300 for everything then immediately got a call back saying it would actually be $350. I just thought whatever as long as it gets fixed and said yes to the price. Mind you I had the backseat out of the car already for them so the fuel pump was easy to get to. The same day I go pick up the car and take it home. There was another issue with my car so I knew I had to go back into the fuel tank myself later to fix it regarding the fuel level sender unit. As soon as I have a chance I go try to take care of it and I am greeted with sloppy patch work. They used this black stuff to patch my fuel pump because the plastic had cracks in it around the seal and they never told me about this, if I had known I would have gotten a new fuel pump assembly or plastic welded this myself. But they decided not to tell me and to patch it themselves. The other big issue is they broke a bolt off in my fuel tank, yup they snapped a bolt and another one was cross threaded and I had a hard time removing it (This will be in the pictures provided). Idk what they were thinking but this is not ok. Going to the evap canister valve part under the car, they made it sound like it was very hard to get to and said the part itself cost $100. I had to change my suspension out so while I was doing that I got to look under my car, low and behold the valve part is right there, easy as pie to get to. Slip off some hoses and put the new one in, all I would have needed was a jack stand. And when I looked for the part online it was no more than 85$ with most being around 65$. In the end my car was damaged and I was over charged. They also only accept cash so that they can write down whatever they want for their tax forms.
And regarding the gas cap, I switched it back to the one I purchased myself and guess what? No leaks! I also went back before knowing all this for the issue with my fuel level sender and they wanted to charge me 600$ for a new fuel pump, I didnt do that luckily and found a new one for 40$. So they made me buy parts I didnt need, damaged my car, and overcharged. If you know about cars, sure ya go here, but if you know nothing stay far away.
