If you're reading this, you're probably looking for a mechanic. Look no further--meet The Better Mechanic!
Hunter will ruin your car, steal your parts, take 4+ months to finish what should've been an 8-hour job, and masterfully dodge your calls the whole time. He might even glue your car back together and swear it's "just fine." You'll likely need a tow truck to drop it off AND to pick it up, because it may only drive ten minutes before breaking down again.
The Stats:
* Lying - (5 stars)
* Stealing - (5 stars)
* Gaslighting - (5 stars)
* Communication - (1star)
* Accountability - not even once
My Experience:
I'm an international college student who brought my car to Hunter in December for a simple timing chain replacement. We agreed: I supply the parts, he does the labour.
I finally got my car back on May 30th.
In that time, Hunter:
* Stole parts from my engine bay
* Kept brand-new parts I gave him to install (NGK coils, spark plugs, ECS intake... gone!)
* Got evicted from his original shop and moved my car 45+ minutes away, refusing to tell me where it was for over a month
* Broke components and then tried to superglue them together instead of replacing them
* Only started replying when I told him I'd see him in small claims court (where he seems to be a frequent flyer)
Oh--and at one point, when dodging my calls, he claimed he was hospitalised and semi-conscious on a drip... from a two-week flu. I wish I was joking.
Honestly? No woman will ever gaslight me again--Hunter trained me well. For that alone, 5 stars.
Final Thoughts:
This winter, I walked to school. I lost money. I lost time. I lost valuable parts.
What I gained? A crash course in lies, theft, and mechanical malpractice.
If you're wondering why there's no listed location--that's probably because he's avoiding being served. Don't be his next "lesson learned."
I'll be filing complaints with the BBB and small claims court (not for money, but principle)--and based on other reviews, I won't be alone
I'll update my review after the process and what the court decides...I got time. read more
