Only Transmissions #2

My regular mechanic referred me to this shop. And I trust him.
I was happy. We only just picked it up tonight, so I will report back if anything goes wrong. But for now I have to say I am very satisfied. The transmission was fixed for much less than we thought it would be, and, while they were making the repair, they found the fly wheel was damaged. I knew it was, because it would make that horrible sound, but everytime we took it in, it would start just fine. Anyway, after removing the transmission, they found the damage and replaced the fly wheel for only the cost of the part — «since they were there anyway». I have to say, that is impressive. It is the way things should be done, but usually aren’t. The only negative I have is that the mechanics left greasy hand prints on the vehicle. But you know what? For the money we saved, we can afford to get it washed — repeatedly! :-)

This is the worst place ever to go to for transmissions. I have a 2004 Chysler Pacifica my transmission locked up on the freeway. I took it to this place the owner George said he could fix it with no problem. He gave me an estimated price before i dropped off the car of course a day after he had the car he said that he need to charge me more because i didnt tell him that i had an AWD. (whatever). he had my car for about 1 week i picked up my car on a friday. By Monday my car was leaking transmission fluid and smoking heavily. I thought may be he spelled some oil on my engine and it was burning off. The car the transmision would sometimes have no power or take a second to catch. So i took it back to him he said there is nothing wrong with it. I picked it up Tuesday morning. By Thrusday by driveway was flooded with trnasmission fluid. I took it back to him again. he said that it was not my transmission but it was my power steering hose. So he said he fixed it. Two days later its smoking again. I took it back to him he said its a box attached to my motor that had transmission fluid on it and it was not my transmission. he said that im doing something wrong to the car. I took the car back home again (luckly i lived around the corner). He stated he would check it and to leave it with him that evening i called to see what was up with my car. he said that my car was not his priority and he has has other cars here to finished. That pissed me off. I gave him 2 more days, he didnt even call me i had to call him. He told me that my transmission case was cracked. I took him another week to fix it. I got the car back and drove it for a month and the car would sometime will not have any power but other that that it drove ok. Other things started happening to it. Ive never had problems with my car until George worked on it. One month to the day my transmission locked up on me again. I took it back to him because i was furious. I WENT OFF! I had one year warrenty on it and he said he dont know what wrong with it again. NEVER!!! I REPEAT NEVER!!! Take your car to this transmission shop expecially if you have a Pacifica because he dont know what he is doing. Now I have to look for another shop to get my transmission fixed. Oh by the way he had to give me my money back.

What can I say. If you own a piece S@#t car and you really dont give a F$@# about the car, take it to this place and let George mess it up for you some more. I took my car there and had nothing but problems from the day I picked it up and each and everytime i took it back for him to try and fix it. I am not a transmission specialist, George is (I thought). Only reason my car ended up at this place, was because my dads friend told him that this guy was good. Come to find out, he meant on automatic transmissions. Wow, wish I would have know that before that Punk A@! got my car into that shop. I brought my car back to this dude time and time again telling him, something was not right. The time added up that my car was at his shop, totals over 2 months.
Example of some of the bad S%$# he did to my car.
# 1. The first day I get my car I take it for a test run around the corner from his shop and I know its not right. I bring it right back and I tell him. He says he will make some adjustments and for me to come back the next day. I drove past his shop several times from the time I dropped it off till I went back the next morning and the car had not been moved. He told me that he worked on it. I told him that I saw my car in the same spot all night and I know he did not move it. So I ended up leaving my car there another day. I get my car back and take it for another test drive and the same thing is going on. I tell him its not right. I ended leaving my car with him for another week. This goes on for to long.
# 2. I came out of the house one day and looked at the back of my car and noticed something was out of place. I could not catch it until I was right up on it. My exhaust was hanging sideways. I jump in the car and take it up to the Exhaust shop that I always deal with and have him put it on the lift for me, so I can see what I broke. Come to find out it was not something that I broke, That Mutha F%#$@# George did not put the bolts back onto the exhaust part, that held it in place and the vibrations pushed my exhaust back and broke the hangers.
I told my dad to go the bank so he could get some cash to bail me out of jail in a few hours, cause I was on my way to see George and do some physical damage. Pops talked me out of it and said he would take care of the car, since he had me take it there and we would just chalk it down as a learning experience of how to chose mechanics to work on sports cars… I want to keep going, but I can feel myself getting upset and wanting to go find george. I will NEVER recomend George to a friend or a crooket cop. I would not let him work on a pair of toe nail clippers. NEVER NEVER NEVER…
