If I could give this place 0 stars, I would. I want everyone to know that the owner is extremely…read morerude, unprofessional, argumentative, and aggressive. Go somewhere else. There are several other mechanic shops in this area and they all match prices. This shop is the worst, do not waste your time here. He gave me such a hard time because of his OWN MISTAKE.
Before going into detail, I want to state that my car's AC has always worked properly. It has always cooled and I never had any issue even when I took it to other mechanics.
I brought my car to Daniel's Tire Shop & More to get my alternator replaced. I bought the part myself from AutoZone then dropped it off to Daniel. I left my car overnight. When I came to pick it up the next day, I paid and then left with my car. I had to drive to AutoZone to return the old alternator. As I was driving for 10 minutes, I noticed that my AC was not cooling AT ALL. It was blowing out HOT AIR the whole time. Keep in mind, I live in Texas where it's 100 degrees in September. This has never happened to my AC. When I went to AutoZone, I asked the employee for advice as to why this might be happening after I just got my alternator fixed. He said my car either needs more coolant or the mechanic may have affected something else while working on my car. So I drive back another 10 minutes to the shop (my AC still isn't cooling, it's the same hot air issue). I pull up and kindly tell the owner, "My AC isn't cooling, I think something may have been affected." RIGHT OFF THE BAT, this man gets so defensive and rude. He responded, "I didn't touch your AC, I didn't touch anything below the alternator, this is not my issue I can't do anything." I still remained calm and tried to explain the issue, I tried saying something might have been touched while he was working on my engine, but HE KEPT ARGUING. So I asked him why he was arguing with me and all he could respond with was, "I didn't touch anything." If he had been nicer and more understanding, I would not have lost my temper, but I was getting angry now because I had paid this man $140 and he ruined my AC and would not help figure out the cause. I will repeat myself over and over again - MY AC HAS ALWAYS WORKED PERFECTLY AND THIS STARTED HAPPENING AFTER I GOT MY ALTERNATOR CHANGED AT DANIEL'S TIRE SHOP & MORE. So use common sense, and understand that this could have only happened at this shop. Daniel or whoever the owner is did not have to get so defensive and rude. He kept arguing and even refused to help after my dad asked him. So I had to call the police. Just so everyone knows, the police has been to this shop and it is in their system now that this man has been rude to a customer. Though the police cannot do much, they are aware of the owner's behavior and they know that this happens very often at many shops, this one being one of them. The cop explained that yes, a lot of times people take their cars to get fixed and leave with another issue. The most a customer can do is file this with BBB, or take it to court. So if I want to, I can gladly file a report against this business. And if anyone has a similar issue, I recommend you do the same. People like this should not have their own businesses. They're making people pay hundreds of dollars and then arguing when they are at fault. Stop fooling customers and just fix the issue you caused. There were other customers there at the same time as me, so I can assure you there are witnesses who know the true story, and they know that the owner ruined my AC system. Once I called the cops and got other customers involved, he got scared and stared trying to fix the issue, but he still wanted to say he didn't do anything. He said he needs to check the wiring and I have to leave my car for a few hours. I was definitely not going to leave my car in his hands for another few hours again. I do not trust him and I decided to leave. Shame on this owner for ruining my AC system and then arguing and telling me that he didn't do anything. I'm going to leave a negative review on every single page for this business.
