Overall
AUTO SERVICE JOKE!!!

I Found This So-Called Repair Shop On Craigslist, and The Ad Looked Pretty Good As Far As The Prices Go. So I Made an Appointment For a 4 Wheel Alignment Which They Advertised And Also Told Me Over The Phone Would Be $29.95. But When I took My Car In, They Quickly Changed The Price To $39.95. I Reluctantly Went Along, Because A Front-End Alignment Does Go For Alot More, Like $60 to $80. But I did Make Sure That If The Car Needed Something Besides an Alignment, They would Call Me Before Any Repairs Were Done. It Didn't Take Very Long For Them To Call Me Back (45 Minutes) To Tell Me That They Couldn't Get The "Jam Nuts" Loose, and That It Would Be Another $65 To Loosen Them Up Before They Could Do The Alignment. I Quickly Told Them No Thanks and I Would Be There To Pick Up My Car. I Thought Why Should I Have To Pay An Extra $65 For Them To Loosen Up "Jam Nuts". Isn't It Part Of The Job To Either Loosen-up Or Tighten Nuts or Bolts on Any Service Of A Car!!! Now I Know This Because I also am a Mechanic. I've Been One For Close To 30 Years, Ever Since I was a Boy I've Been Around Cars! I Only Took My Car In Because I Don't Have The Alignment Machine To Get The Wheels Aligned To A Specific Number That You Need For Proper Alignment! Now, The "Jam Nuts" They Were Talking About Were The Lock-Nuts On The Ends Of The Tie-Rods! As Soon As I Got Home With My Car, I Loosened The 2 Lock-Nuts Not "Jam Nuts" With a Couple Tapps Of My Wrench, So I Guess They Weren't That Tight Or Rusted-Over Like They Told Me!! Another Thing I Noticed Was That They Never Took The Wheels Off, Because I Had The Tires Off The Night Before and I Know How Much I Tighten My Wheels And They Were The Same When I Took Them Off To Check Out The So-Called "Jam Nuts"!!! So What I'm Trying To Say Is That They Get You To Come In With A Cheap Price, Then They Try To Get People That Don't Know About Cars To Pay More Money For Problems You Don't Even Have!! SO I HIGHLY DON'T, I MEAN DON'T TAKE YOUR CAR OR ANYTHING ELSE TO THIS PROFESSIONAL RIP-OFF ARTIST !!!!!
