I should have been more apprehensive about using this shop when 1) I saw that after less than 2 months of opening shop, the space was relisted for rent because of non payment but I attributed it to the overhead of a startup shop with a low workload. Then I noticed that the mechanic was without a car lift so was doing major repairs off of Jack stands. Then I took my girls equinox to have its heater core replaced. That was $900. After he replaced the heater core, he started the car and walked away from it. Minutes later my father just happens to stop by and literally witnesses the head gasket go and yells for dude as my car shoots coolant 20 feet in the air. He offered no break from the core replacement and instead offers to replace the gaskets in my engine for an additional 2500$. This was 2 weeks ago. I see his current location is once again listed for rent. read more
