Buddy Hendricks is a con man / scum bag mechanic. His business model is to give a reasonable quote,…read moredismantle your car, claim "unforeseen problems", and literally charge you 4 - 5 times the original amount! He's done this countless times and has quite the reputation around central FL. He doesn't expect you to pay. He expects you to just forfeit your car and walk away so he can strip and/or sell it. If you do pay, which I made the mistake of doing, IT WONT EVEN RUN!!! I had to have my engine completely rebuilt by another machine shop once I finally got my car back! Additionally he stripped the original #'s correct alternator (selling for 1k+ on ebay) and replaced it with a cheap china repo. Ive met numerous people that have had similar run-ins with him. His shop used to be called Florida Performance Machine (do a search including 'hendricks', see what comes up) but he had to change it to Hendricks Motorsports (of course stolen from a similarly named reputable company located up in NC with ZERO affiliation). Total piece of garbage that give honest engine builders a bad name.

--- **BEWARE BEFORE…read moreYOU SPEND THOUSANDS HERE** I have never written a review in my life, but after what happened, I couldn't stay quiet. My wife took my **2004 Ford Crown Victoria with only 140,000 miles** to T & D Auto because it developed a strange noise and was smoking. After looking at it, they told us the **entire engine needed to be replaced** and quoted us **approximately $9,000**. **Nine thousand dollars for a 2004 Crown Vic.** Fortunately, I decided to inspect the car myself before authorizing such an outrageous repair. The problem wasn't a blown engine at all. When I had previously replaced the alternator, **I had accidentally left the alternator bolts loose**. The alternator shifted, contacted the belt, and caused the noise and smoke. I tightened the alternator correctly, and the "bad engine" magically disappeared. Since then, I've driven the car **thousands of miles** without a single engine problem. Based on my experience, I have **serious concerns about the accuracy of the diagnosis** I was given. Had I trusted it without question, I would have spent thousands of dollars replacing a perfectly good engine. My advice: **Always get a second opinion before approving major repairs here.** It may save you thousands of dollars. I can only speak to what happened to me, but this experience completely destroyed my confidence in this shop. I will never return, and I cannot recommend them to anyone. Imagine all the elderly folks that they ripped off!!!Garbage

My mechanic had already checked it in the ABS was not communicating with car. He told me it had to be programmed by Subaru so I should take it to them. So I took it to the dealership to have them look at my car and they told me it was my VDC which controls the ABS. They did not find anything else wrong with the vehicle or make me aware of anything else wrong with the vehicle. Part was on back order so I could not pick up the card March 26 upon picking up the vehicle before I even left dealership could feel the air was not blowing cold. I also noticed a hesitation when I was driving it. Came back to the dealership had service advisor drive the car he told me he drove fine. Told me that they'd have them look at the Ac. McKenna came out and told me I was low on Freon. Never mention anything else wrong with the air conditioning, even though air conditioning was working perfectly fine when I got there. Charge me almost $4000 to replace my VDC. Had to bring her back in because AC was not working properly and was still hesitating when accelerating between 40 and 45. They now give me an estimate of $1500 to fix my AC but that didn't include compressor that was another $1900 and then over $9000 for my transmission. I would've never spent the $4000 on the BDC had I've been made aware of the other things wrong with my vehicle even when I picked it up when they said I was low on Freon never mentioned anything about my air condition leaking. I have done numerous research on the Internet and found out that a lot of times when they replacing the VDC component, they can damage the compressor O-rings in the air conditioning. Subaru is refusing to take any responsibility. It seems very suspicious that all of a sudden AC and my transmission now needs replaced. I feel taken advantage and defrauded and will be reporting them to Better Business Bureau. https://www.google.com/search?q=replaced+VDC+component+in+subura+forester+now+AC+not+workimg&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&hl=en-us&client=safari&sei=WoTdaZO7L4-gwN4PpOOawQ0#lfId=ChxjMe
