    The photos are from the review I left on Google. I can no longer edit the post. Unfortunately my check engine light is now on for cylinder misfires in addition to the other things that weren't taken care of (such as the original reason for the check engine light). When I spoke to MTA about the check engine light a couple months ago and mentioned that I was disappointed that after a full engine rebuild I still dealing with issues, they responded and said that they just replaced the long block. I am pissed that they told me a full rebuild would be done and then said that they just replaced the long block. I spent $15,000 for my engine to be rebuilt. If I spent the money to 1. Buy a new engine 2. Ship the engine and was told that 3. They would be using parts from both engines to make one that works... is that not a full engine rebuild? I understand that I'm a girl and don't know a lot about cars, but that doesn't mean that they should be taking advantage of me and my situation. On average a long block replacement can cost between 1,500 and 4,000. So why would I be paying $15,000 for just the long block replacement? I am a full time college student with a very limited income and no other vehicular options. I would not recommend this business to anyone. They may be kind, but they will take advantage of you. They said they would help with anything related to the work they did, but I have a sneaking suspicion that I would end up costing me especially with them "offering" to change my spark plugs for a measly $400. Don't come here unless you wanna pay up the butt for a car that still has issues at the end of service (which was a month and a half in my case).

    Tony was great to work with! Showed up when he said he would, kept in contact throughout the day…read moreleading up to the tow, and got my slammed Lexus on the bed with no issues at all! If I ever need a tow again, I know who to call. Thanks, again, man!

    I'm not sure what is up with Anthony the past month, you will see 3 recent reviews on Google and…read moreone other here saying he ghosted people. The same happened to me on Tuesday. Maybe he has hit a rough spot in life, I'd used him 2 times over a year ago and it went well. However, he is not reliable right now and I would not use him under any circumstances. Tuesday I had a breakdown returning to Portland from Seattle. We scheduled a time at 5pm for him to meet me in Castle Rock and agreed to a price. He wrote at 4pm to say his current job was taking longer than expected. I wrote him at 5 and asked for an ETA. Called him at 6. Texted again. No response. Finally at 6:30 I had to start looking for another tow truck, and by then it was after hours and the prices go up. The guy from Jacobson's Chevron had to leave home to come get me. Good guy, And we were able to get the car home, but it was hundreds of dollars more than what Tony had offered. No explanation ever came, no text, no call, nothing. And stuck paying hundreds of more dollars. Really strange as a repeat customer especially. Avoid Urban Miner until he corrects what is going on and addresses how his business reviews are tanking...
