Was told vehicle was running great, that they took it around the block, however I drove off the lot and loss of power right away and backfires on the way home.
Brought in to have timing corrected, vehicle ran fine on the way there. But not so fine on the way home.
Was told notches on timing are both pointed up. Was told by elsewhere one should point up and point down. Will talk to them on Monday when they open again as it is Friday and they are closed now.
I give 3 stars and will boost up later when problem is known if timing is off or not still...

Can't right a new review so must edit. I gave 2 stars instead of 3... Timing is still not set correctly, they claimed to have double checked the work, but by doing so you got to do the whole job over because of how the timing cover comes off a geo metro 1990 Lsi.
Anyways.. They did not put the timing belt cover back on and screws were lose. The alternator belt went threw the timing cover so now I need to replace the cover on top of them not aligning the timing. I had to print out directions to show him how to set timing on the car and where the marks were at. They just aligned it up with the spring, which is not exactly where the mark is at. (As directions I printed out showed)
This will probably be my last time as with my 1997 Pontiac Bonneville I brought in for an estimate and they replaced $800+ worth of parts with labor with no ok to do so.
The owner got upset but the employee just told him he will handle it, that I brought it in to get the problem corrected.
I just bought a new belt, so now I will have to replace the cover. I will also have to replace the alternator belt now as it ate threw the timing cover. read more
