Talk about a place doing bare minimum and lying that they checked more, yet did absolutely nothing, the bare minimum, ran it on a scanner and that's it, for the full day in a shop, and LIED ontop, and zero care in the world the danger I was put into for trusting them!
I scheduled my car into the shop Wednesday, April 27th 2022.
My check engine light was on. JJ's Auto Care had my car for the full day (I had to rearrange my day for this). JJ's advised it was the catalytic converter. I asked if I could hold off on that. They advised that yes, it could even wait 2 years and isn't necessary and most importantly EVERYTHING else on the car looks good, I have a great car, keep it he said.
Saturday, April 30th, 2022. 3 days later! My car starts sputtering on the highway! I pull off and find a highly reviewed place nearby. I go to that shop and they said there is plenty wrong with my car and were shocked it was in somewhere a few days ago. This was a trustable military employee shop.
Things wrong : Radiator, water pump, filler neck, coolant, radiator cap, and thermostats.
I call JJ's on Monday with my crazy experience on saturday and to ask what was looked at on wednesday. They advised I went in with check engine light, and that is all they did. They simply plugged it into the reader and saw what popped up. Then charged me over $100. And had my car the full day and I had to schedule for that, which is absolutely nothing looked at!
They had zero concern that they advised to me Wednesday that everything else was good, yet. Were LYING because they checked NOTHING else.
I trust a place to check out my car, and nothing was checked and they have no care in the world they took my car a full scheduled day and told me everything was good, yet after I have a very dangerous experience a few days later, they finally tell the truth that they only plugged it into a computer and did no checking of anything else.
That's insane, you trust a place to look at your car, and they put you in danger and lie that EVERYTHING else looked good, yet didn't check anything and no care after.
His response was all I mentioned was check engine light, so that's all they did was plug that into machine and check those digits.
So I guess in summary, I lost a day in the shop with JJ's auto, I lost money for them doing Nothing, they put me in serious danger 3 days later, YET it's my fault I trusted a car mechanic shop to look at my car for a full day and somehow I should have known more to ask for past the check engine. Talk about a place doing bare minimum and lying about everything else being great!
Ok, I guess you need to be a mechanic to take it to JJ's? Seriously!!!!!!!?????
