    Explanation that white smoke, Bad valve stem seal, so replace engine...
    Tommy J.

    I recently was in the market for another car for my son. We ran across a 2004 Audi that was quite nice looking. The guy had just bought the car from a mechanic, and found out that the engine was in need of a valve job. He could not afford it, so he was selling it quite cheap. I called my mechanic and he said that he did not work on foreign cars. He recommended SAS. The guy that was selling the car and told me that he got a quote from SAS to fix the engine and it was $10,000. I thought that was just crazy? The owner of the car told me that the car was actually sitting at SAS if I wanted to see it. So I went down, looked at the car and talked with them. he said yes it was $10,000, I asked why so much, he told me that so many things needed to be replaced. he wasn't specific. So I did some research, found a rebuilt engine and asked SAS if they could just put another engine. He said yes and that the book said it would take 11 hours of labor to take everything off the old engine and put it on the new engine. He said I should tack on two more hours to be safe for any extra work. I asked how much they charge per hour he told me $153 an hour. Simple mass put that under $2000. So this actually fit in our budget to have a car with a rebuilt engine. So I asked the guy to write it up. Since the car was there, we were quite happy. The quote came back at $10,000 again. I asked the guy why on earth the price just went up $8000. I mean, I have a rebuilt engine, all the parts on the old car working. The car ran quite well just had a white smoke. The guy told me that the price included replacing all kinds of stuff. He would not be specific. He said they have to charge me for nuts and bolts and every little thing they wanted to put on the engine. This was just crazy. Valve job $10,000, bring in your own rebuilt engine and they will replace it for $10,000. Needless to say, I told the owner of the Audi that we just could not afford to buy his car. He kept in touch with me and found a place that would do the valve job for $1500. Also they said they would put the rebuilt engine in for $2500. So yeah... I do not recommend this place. I'm not sure of if it was just the counter person, because I heard that the owner and the mechanics are quite good here. But I'm pretty sure most people will agree that $10,000 for a valve job is exorbitant. Replacing the engine with a your own rebuilt engine for $10,000 is also just crazy.

    This was the hose that was completely disconnected when I drove out of the shop.

    Appreciate the thorough inspection and honest advice. This is the place to go if you own a Volvo in Carson or Reno.

    We talked to Scott about it and had it towed to SAS as he said they could possibly look at it that day (Friday).

I got an appointment right away. Jesse worked with me to find a brand more affordable than what I had. She was able to keep me close to my budget. At first they told me it would be 3 to 4 hours but it was actually under 2. Needless to say I was surprised and happy. The owner came out to talk for a bit too. It's funny how things can work out for the best. Yes I definitely recommend battle born!

He provided and recommended a few sets of wheels for all the driving I've been doing lately and my personal preference in how smooth the ride would be vs. a thicker tire and feeling bumps here and there in the road, but get more miles of warranty. I chose to pay a little more so I would be prepared for the snow and get more warranty on my tires. I was able to get a minor alignment, oil change, and my new tires balanced and put on my car within an hour and a half or so that I waited for my car. I cannot recommend Tony and his shop anymore than I do in person to my family, friends and coworkers. If you're looking for an honest mechanic, stop by his shop or give them a call. Thank you Tony for getting me in and out and safely back on the road.
