To Terri G., the lady whose mother took her car to Unitech Mobile Repair Service, God Bless her, I wish her the best. I hope she gets her money back.
Within this review, I have giving only a brief discription of the long, difficult, and nightmarish events, which has taken place because I patronized this business to make repairs on my car; which any business should appreciate from any customer. However,This is only my opinion of Unitech Mobile Repair Service, which is: This MAY NOT be THE mechanic that you would want to work on your car:
December 21, 2009- Under the recommendation of a AAA tow truck driver, I had my car towed to towed to Unitech Mobile Repair Service, which turned out to be one of the worse mistake that I have ever made in my life! The tow truck driver told me that he knows the owner/ mechanic of this shop who is a reputable, honest, and reglious person who does very good work. He also said this shop doesn't try to overcharge and beat customers out of their money the way some repair service do. So, I agreed to have my car towed to Unitech Mobile Repair Services. The owner, quoted $1,850; of which $850 I paid him upfront to purchase the part, so that as he said, my car will be repaired when I return to town. On returning to pick up my car, I discovered that he had performed unauthorized work which he added to my bill. When I asked him why he did not ask for my approval before doing this work and charging it to my bill, he apologized and said that next time he would ask.
Since I am accustomed to taking my car to a shop where I can just pay and drive away; I paid him the remaining balance on my card. When I started my car up and proceeded to drive off, I noticed the transmission light was still flashing, which was an indication that there was still a problem with the transmission. When I told him there was still a problem, he said: "I wondered what was causing the light to flash like that". That's when I realized that I had made a grave mistake. I had to explain to him that it is the transmission indicator which indicates there is still a problem with the transmission. He then asked me, "Does your glove compartment open?" When I asked him why he asked, he then said. " I wanted to get your manual that came with the car so that I could find out what was causing the light to flash like that". In order to give him an opportunity to correct the problem, I left my car with him. He told me that he would call me. Quite the contrary, I had to call him to see whether he had resolved the problem. He admitted there was a problem with the transmission and agreed to either fix the problem or return my money. I explained to him that I thought that he had had my car since December 21, 2009 and now it's three weeks later and my car is still not properly repaired.When I told him that since my car is not repaired; it would be neccessary that I rent a car until my car is repaired, all he could do is apologize and say that he does not have rent cars. When he called me he accused the problem of being with the car's computer and said he will have to go into my computer to find out what the problem is. That was the last straw as well as the straw that broke the camel's back!!!!! I immediately told him to just wrap my transmission up and I don't care if he has to put it in the back seat; I will have my car towed to another shop. The other shop performed a diagnosis only to discover that neither the transmission that he installed nor the unauthorized parts that he placed on my car was any good. When I requested a refund, he refused to reimburse me. When I advised him that I was going to report him to the Bureau of Automotive Repairs, he said in threatening tones, "You do just that. That's what I want you to do."
Well that is not what I wanted to do, that is what I had to do. Dealing with his man has been a nightmare from hell. I have not been able to get my car out of the other shop, I have missed my doctor's appointments because of not having the money at the time to either buy or rent a car. Neither did I have anyone to take me to my appointments. At the times that I have been able to rent cars, has extended and depleted my financial resources that I am just able to pay my rent and bills.
Since that time, he has yet to have had the decency to reimburse my money. read more
