I asked him for an estimate before buying the parts, but he didn't offer one. When he got to our house to start I asked again for an estimate, to which he replied "I'll be fair ". When the job was done, 3 hours later he asked for $400. I was shocked, but paid him anyway. That's about 135/ hr. In my view, that's a lousy way to do business-especially when dealing with a repeat customer.

Looked like a tow fee was the only option until someone at our last stop suggested a mobile repair service. Before we go any further my phone service and my husband's phone service was all messed up, could not receive calls, only texts, so we would have to carry phone around and hope we heard it ding. Well anyway, within 30 minutes of contacting Juan Charles, he called us, worked us in on his schedule, and met us at Publix. (Problem was starter and battery.) He saved the day and was fair with cost and beyond excellent with cust serv and reliability. His number is programmed in my phone and should be on yours!!! 6 stars out of 5

My repairs begin in June 2023 when I dropped my Jeep off for diagnostics of a knock sound in the engine bay; here is what followed. June 5, Dropped Jeep off. June 9 said engine was bad. August 5, told repairs just began. Aug 9, told oil dipstick tube was broke - this happened during the engine work. . Aug 12, told both valve covers were bad, $360 to replace. Aug 14, Juan's Auto calls about valve covers stating "I do not buy cheap parts off amazon" and he used what dealership would use at a cost of $370.00 for both including new bolts. I agreed, later discovered nothing wrong with valve covers and he reused at least some of the bolts because in the old engine, two of the bolts were larger and cut to size and they were reused when the new covers were installed stripping out the threads on two of threaded bolt holes. Aug 21, Juan's Auto said I needed a new AC blower motor with resister, said the entire AC system was bad and you needed an AC compressor kit and a new condenser. Aug 22, I ask Juan if they were sure AC system was bad, it was just 10 ,onths old, I ask if it was holding a vacuum, no reply. Aug 30, I ask again if AC was holding vacuum, Juan said AC vacuum was done while on the full cycle AC machine, cost $100, I declined the full AC replacement. After picking the Jeep up I took it to another shop where they confirmed in a few minutes that no part of the AC system was bad other than the compressor high pressure line which appeared to have formed a small crack where it was laid over in the engine bay during the engine work. Sept 3, pick Jeep up, check engine light was on, called Juan, no reply. Within 10 minutes a large trail of smoke was coming from the jeep. Once home I could see oil all over under the hood and dripping down on exhaust. Again I called Juan, no reply. Sept 7, called and text Juan explaining it was smoking to much to drive back to Texas and please call me, again no reply. Sept 11, tried to contact Juan again, left voicemail stating I would be back in Florida on Oct 2 and I wanted the smoke issue resolved, again no reply. Sept 14, text Juan that Jeep was dropped off at another merchant, no reply. Sept 15, other mechanic confirms passenger valve cover gasket was pinched against the top of the block, uncertain if the cover was bad, replaced with FelPro gasket. The two stripped bolts mentioned above are discovered, the EGR valve was unplugged, the air filter to crank case breather hose was gone and a plug was placed in the crankcase breather side, the PCV hose was not connected to the PCV valve. Oct 6, Jeep is returned to second mechanic where they were not able to locate source of smoke and oil leak. This is where the AC system was determined OK. Oct 9, smoking getting worse, call, text and leave voicemail with Juan, no reply. Oct 9, still no reply from Juan, have no choice but to drive the Jeep as is back to Texas, smokes like it was on fire the entire trip back home, stopping every 50 miles to clean up under the hood and add oil, 18 quarts in 750 miles, the next morning I made a video of the problems and uploaded to YouTube, sent Juan a text and a link to the YouTube video, again no reply. Oct 12, Texas mechanic replaces one valve cover, still smokes, here we discover the valve covers that were replaced were fine, there was never a problem with any valve cover, old or new. Oct 13, Jeep would not pass inspection, call Juan again, no reply. Oct 16, take Jeep to the dealership where they tell me the oil leak is coming from excessive crankcase pressure and could be a result of everything being left disconnected, main seal gasket needed replacement and they were not sure about right side engine gasket, I decline additional repairs, I'm done. Nov 20, a friends mechanic said he could regulate the crankcase pressure by installing an oil bypass can and an aftermarket oil filler tube for $300, it works, have too empty can once a month, check engine lights still on, Jeep will not pas inspection. From Oct thru March 2024, other calls to Juan went unanswered. March 2024, I sent a letter of intent to sue to Juan, again providing him a link to the YouTube video, again no reply. https://youtu.be/fS8Y9-NNm1c

Someone passed his number to me over a year ago and he was the first person I contacted when my car started acting up. He was quick to respond, he was beyond fair, and very honest. He could've made a lot of money off of me by doing things that could've masked the real problem, but instead he was honest and only charged me for one initial diagnostic. After his diagnosis, I called a reputable car mechanic shop who confirmed they would've done the exact same steps and there was nothing else they would do. He won't do you wrong!

Fast forward to April, I had problems with it stalling. I assumed it was something to do with my fuel system so I brought it in again and it was diagnosed & repaired a day later. The prices were fair and didn't leave me penniless. Chad and his staff are pleasant to work with and their degree of professionalism is unmatched. They communicated clearly and precisely leaving me without question on what the issues were and how they would be remedied. If honesty and integrity are important to you (which they should be) then I highly recommend leaving your vehicular issues McLeod's hands.
