I took my car for a right-front air suspension (spring) replacement to Orlando Auto Clinic and they damaged the brand new air suspension strut which is over $1000.00 and told me that it is not their reponsibility. They fixed the stripped airline fitting with JB weld which will not hold back the air pressure for a long.
However after all this, the car still would not rise and could not be drive. So they spent additional several days and told me that this time the Air Compressor is too weak and not producing enough air pressure. So I bought yet another expensive part ($652.00), a brand new Mercedes Benz Air compressor.
I took the Air compressor to the shop on Thursday, on Sep. 24, 2015 at 9 AM. The mechanic said it should take 45 minutes to install and they would call me. They never called me until I went there on Saturday at around 2:00 PM, Sep. 26, 2015.
The car had been there until I picked up on Sat. at around 2:00 PM (Sep. 26, 2015).
After I picked up my car I went home but noticed on the same day at around 5 PM that (Sep. 26, 2015), there was an impact damage at the bottom part of the left front (driver side) door as if it was pushed against some sort of an object. There was deep indentation with bottom middle part of the door bent inward with metal shavings and chipped paint still there. Inside of the door panel obviously had dirt foot prints indicating that while some was in the car may be working might have pushed the door with their foot forcefully and the door slammed against something present next to the door. I cannot exactly know what happened.
There was another impact damage on the rear left quarter panel above the wheel opening. This is a vertical impact line on the sheet metal. It is about 5 inch long.
I immediately went back to the garage at around 5:45 PM on Sep. 26, 2015, and showed the impacts. The mechanic bent over and looked at the impact on the door and immediately rubbed off the metal shavings that was still on the door panel with a towel and left. I called the shop (Mongie - spelling may be inaccurate). The shop owner looked at the damage and immediately denied that this happened while the car was in the shop for 9 days.
Since I just went back home and have a private drive way and garage, I am sure these damages happened while the car was being serviced during the entire 9 day.
The shop owner threatened me and told me that "I am done with you" and "leave the garage".
And then just yesterday (Oct. 1, 2015) the front end of the car collapsed. I had to get it towed to Cars and More on E Colonial Road and these guys immediately lifted up the car and found that the airline that comes out of the compressor was blown off from the brand new compressor that Orlando Auto Clinic had installed.
I am very disappointed with the service and the way the owner treated and threatened me. Extremely unprofessional. I would not recommend this place to anyone.. read more
