    The tow truck driver, Bennie, did a great job. Picked up my junk car the same day and did not haggle on price.

    Frank was great! Very thorough and fair pricing. I'll definitely be using his services for all of…read moremy future repair needs.

    In regard to your response Frank I'll expose again why no one should use you. To start I used you…read moreafter the break issue we resolved to give you a shot. I bring up that brake issue because it eventually became a pattern of dropping the ball, and repeated issues 1. My car had to be towed because basic logic well known issue for GMC/Chevy 6.2 liter V8 engines have a lifter issue which requires engine replacement. The car wasn't in bad shape as you say. Cadillac dealership said I should have it towed due to the knocking sound. My car has always been kept immaculate. Yes you quoted a fair price, it was Lambs in Lakeway that was ridiculous and most people know they are. The engine took long because they sent the wrong engine and in regards to my finances it wasn't I couldn't pay . I was at the mercy of you and I was nothing but polite every single interaction with you. Your dropped the ball so many times and you actually asked me for advance payment at one point because you needed to pay your taxes . I didn't want to pay you UPFRONT Frank. You fix then pay, that's most every way it's done . You didn't have the money to cover costs which is a concern regarding running a business. I had also just spent money on another car repair and boat repairs . The car sat as I decided what I wanted to do. As far as stating you could have charged me storage you never once mentioned that and I have every phone call that proves that. Pretty shady of you to pull that out on your reply here. Again not on single time did you ever mention storage fees. So please don't act as if it was some favor you did. The car went in for an engine replacement. As you confirmed the day you put the engine in to test drive you call me telling me I need steering column replacement. Yes I have you on recording Frank stating that indeed the lift and big tires were the culprit. The steering was completely fine and it had not been driven once per you as we waited for the engine issue and replacement to be resolved. You now understand why I recorded you. You can't remember what you told me. I didn't struggle to pay you. I had a boat in repair and another car a Range Rover in repair. I communicated to you very professionally. By the way let's remember you had me pay up front on everything. It was the engine that was ordered that was delayed. 2. Regarding the transmission line. Let the public see this post. I pick up my car from Frank and I make it about a quarter to half a mile or so down road and what becomes the problem is the transmission line. Frank I have that call to you recorded as well and your claim that I accelerated or false and blew the line is total BS. It had nothing to do with big tires. I'm saving all my facts, statements from GM certified techs , and video of your guy coming over to "fix" it. Within a day or 2 it went out again and I made you tow it for free. It was your guy that you sent and had him do what he did and sent me on my way and that all was fine only to have it sent back to you. By the way on our recorded call you tried to lead me to believe with certainty it was one thing when in fact you were wrong and called me with another reason. Again grateful I recorded both those conversations. The reputable mechanics I discussed were my brothers out of Houston. My brother owns a professional garage and luxury and collector car biz for 22 years. The other reputable people was a connection I had out of A Cadillac dealer in Dallas. I mentioned this to you and so logically my car stayed locally with you. 3. The whole issue about you spending 200 for the detail I will just say to anyone reading this look at the pics of my Escalade left in his care. Never should have happened Frank. By the way I took a time stamp video of my car before it went back to you. I didn't spill the oil. That's a regular engine oil. Why would I need engine oil to leave in my backseat after you just repaired and did an engine replacement. Again shady of you to blame that on me. And by the way I had to waste 3 hours of my work day sitting there waiting on a detail. Completely unprofessional. 4. I asked you you fix my windshield wiper motor while you had it. You never did. I kept asking you very time you had the car and I have your texts alone that show you forgot several times. same thing Frank regarding the transmission thermostat. I asked you several times, you came out to fix my running board and forgot to get the transmission thermostat and windshield motor. Again pretty crazy you fixed my transmission yet our texts show you dropping the ball on the thermostat. I have lost count on the amount of texts I have that show you never show up on time. I'm done with my response. I'll update this post after claims court.

    Blue Mule Garage - Start replacement under the intake

    Blue Mule Garage

    My most recent experiences with Blue Mule Garage and "Jimmy" Maus will be my last. I brought my…read more4Runner to them for preventative timing belt replacement as it was coming up on 100k since the last time I replaced it. I was prepared to let the dealer do it, but wanted to support a local family-owned business I had good experiences with previously. I have recommended Blue Mule Garage exclusively for auto repairs over the last 2 years to neighbors, family members, coworkers, and people on Nextdoor looking for an honest and competent repair shop. Regrettably, I cannot in good conscience continue to do so following my recent experiences. These experiences include going to pick up vehicles after being told they're ready to go only to find the contrary. One instance, the hood was not closed and would not close because the hood latch had been removed but not reinstalled properly. The most recent incident included bolts not checked and retorqued as separately requested multiple times, and bolts completely missing, lost, or not reinstalled properly when brought back repeatedly for concerns of loose sounds in the front end. Every time a concern was brought up or pointed out, I agreed to their recommendation for a path to resolve. The last time the vehicle was initially brought to them for a quoted $1200 timing belt repair. That lead to an oil pump replacement at an additional $1300 because of a stripped bolt inside the engine they found and said was not their fault. When I went to pick up the "ready to go" vehicle, I pulled out of the parking lot and immediately had the dash light up like a Christmas tree and the vehicle would not accelerate past 30 mph. I turned around and left it with them to resolve again. The next time I picked it up, the exhaust fell off the next day, and something else sounded loose in the front. At a quick glance, I noticed the majority of the bolts for the skid plates were missing and assumed that's what it was. I fixed the exhaust myself to get to work. Jimmy at Blue Mule admitted to and apologized for not putting all the bolts back on the skid plate because "different techs here worked on it, and we don't know where everything went." They say they never touched the exhaust. In any case, I gave them the benefit of the doubt and the opportunity to fix the issues. I mentioned the concern I had of something sounding loose in the front end (popping noises) and asked for them to thoroughly inspect and retorque front end bolts again. After another inspection, I was given another estimate over $1k including sway bar bushings, cv axle, and inner tie rods. Since I was told that the steering rack was removed as part of the previous timing belt / oil pump service, I questioned why none of this additional stuff was mentioned before. Jimmy told me they removed the steering rack and either didn't notice any issues with those items or didn't touch them. Whatever the reason, it wasn't their fault. I initially decided to give them the benefit of the doubt again and approved the services, fully expecting to pick up a car free of the issues, which brought the car back to them. However, when I went to pick up the vehicle several days after being told it was ready, standing at the counter to pay, I semi-jokingly asked if all of the popping noises were gone. The responses included: "I heard the popping as the car was being pulled off the lift to go to the alignment shop, but it's hard to tell where exactly sitting in the car" and "the guy at the alignment shop thinks it's the upper ball joints, and I concur." "All of your aftermarket suspension wears out faster and is causing problems." But, somehow, the car was ready to go? I paid my bill and left with the car. The next day, the car started to overheat. Replacing a visibly leaking coolant hose on top of the engine resolved that issue, and retorquing the alignment eccentric bolts eliminated the suspension noise. There were still missing bolts for the skid plate. Finally, my neighbor recently had them work on his truck, and his bumper came undone on the highway. I did lose my temper and eventually apologized in writing for my choice of tone and words. They've informed me that I'm no longer welcome as a customer. Le sigh sad panda.
