Bad Experience

Very bad experience with these people. They totally misdiagnosed my car's problem as a Timing Chain "jumping a tooth", resulting in possible "Bent Valves". I was told it will cost $1000.00 just to look at it . Repair and parts would be extra. I said "No", and took my car away. I almost junked it, till a friend came by and said the valves and timing was fine. The problem was a bad EGR valve. $150 later, the car is running PERFECTLY. They would have done a TOTALLY UNNECESSARY top end rebuild which would not have even fixed the actual problem. I also found that these people charge LIST PRICE on the parts, which is a 200% to 300% mark up over what the auto parts stores sell the part for. They tried to charge me $400 for a Fuel Pump which retails at all the auto parts stores for $108 to $120.
