Brought my car into Autoblitz to have brake pads and rotors installed and they were installed inside out (saving photos for hearing). Alternator installed and check-engine light came and told to brought back but stopped at Auto Zone to check codes that came up (saving photos for hearing). The had car for ten minutes and said car was fixed but all they did was reset the light. That's a crime of Fraud.
While I was getting it repaired Zabir texted me (have screenshots) "tell me how much: to repair the car (as if he was going to reimburse me but still hasn't, so filed complaint with Bergen Passaic Consumer Protection Department asking for Punitive Damages. Did this to a customer for 2 years. Disgraceful I have all receipts and pictures, saving for the hearing. Filed complaint with Better Business Bureau which will be up on their website in a few weeks. He puts cash payments in his pockets as he did mine.
