I had what equates to a nightmare experience with Eddie's Auto Electrical. Traveling thru New York State and staying at Schodack Island State Campground, my car started misfiring to the point where it was not drivable. I was towing a camper, including dog & cats, which made my situation very dire . Unfortunately I decided to have my vehicle towed to Eddie's Auto Electrical because they were close by and had a good review (that's a head scratcher. Musta been family.). Once there Eddie (he goes by junior) jumped on the situation, diagnostic tool in hand, stating that he wasn't able to get all the codes needed to diagnose the problem, but immediately came up with a $375+ charge, and I needed to leave the vehicle so he could continue figuring out the problem, and he would! Because of my situation I had no real choice but to go along with that and trust that eddie/junior was honest and had integrity (NOT). Each day several new tests would be preformed, (umm, let's see, a smoke test (yes literally), compression test, upper intake manifold removed to check coils, injectors, ignition boots, and on and on). He absolutely verified that the fuel injectors were getting voltage therefore indicating that the PCM unit was good as well. (Second mechanic found the PCM unit the problem, which it was!) Basically, my vehicle was torn apart willy nilly, numb nut eddie/junior hoping to find the problem, but never did. The last straw was when he called to say it was absolutely the fuel pump, would cost me $400 for the part, plus labor, and guess what? Not the problem. eddie/junior moron not only compromises my fuel pump by removing it, installing a new one, removing the new one and putting the original one back, but still charged me $175 for his labor? REALLY!!!!!! And he also replaced several other parts totally unnecessary . His mark up is 100%, i.e. a fuel filter (not needed but replaced per eddie/junior genius) $15 at Napa, charged me $30, so I guess that explains all the new parts. Bottom line, I had to have my vehicle towed to a competent mechanic who diagnosed the problem in a 3 hour window. eddie/junior made it very apparent that I would not be getting my car keys or vehicle back for the second tow without a copy of my license and major credit card. $620 later, the sleazy, greasy, two bit con artist charged my card $620 for the privilege of not fixing the problem. There were several issues with the condition of how the vehicle was returned, notably broken clips holding hoses/wiring harnesses. After my vehicle was repaired I stopped back at Eddies Auto Electrical to let eddie/junior know what the problem was, something he declared "not the problem" early on during his worthless diagnoses. He immediately got defensive and proceeded to tell me the PCM had not been looked at and that was the next thing he was going to check had I left it there another day (he had the car for 4 days). Then in a very smug, arrogant manner he asked "what do you want me to do?". I left that question unanswered as I'm sure he knew exactly the two things I wanted him to do. So the bastard got away with ripping me off, and if you check the BBB you'll find he appears to have a problem, with women in particular. He has no integrity, no real mechanical skills, and some day little eddie/junior will pay the price. And then there's eddie/juniors little bitch "Eric", one of his employees, standing behind the fat greasy sack of crap, repeating and agreeing with everything eddie/junior says. What a couple of losers! Good riddance!!! read more
