What the heck do I do? I did a search on Yelp and found 89th street auto diagnostics. I called the shop and spoke with Chris. He said his shop is very busy but he will fix my issue. A few days later, he fixed the car and explained what happened. I felt he was the only honest mechanic in Brooklyn. He also pointed out my Jeep needs another part to repair. Did you know JEEP means Just Empty Every Pocket?! When I come back from vacation, I'll have Chris order the parts and make an appointment.

The attendant tried to fill it but gas only trickled in a penny at a time. After 6-7 minutes only had $3.35. He tried again same thing only got $1.25 worth in. Then attendant had me move to a different gas pump, got less than $1 in & it stopped like it was full. There was between half and 3/4. Back in Bay Ridge, brought it to Verrazano and actually gave them a typed sheet with the description of what happened the night before with filling the tank, plus I wrote the brakes he just put in are squeaking pls check them. The guy stapled it to the check in card where they have you write your name, etc. They open 8am. It was 11am had heard nothing. I had to call. John said I'll call you back in a couple of minutes I'm on with the dealership. 30 mins later had to call again. He said oh Miss I had to order a new one it's coming from the dealership I asked him what did he order? He said a new gas gauge sender. I said, is it sensor? He said No, sender. He spelled it to me. I asked what does that do? It reads how much gas is in the tank. Ok, but I said there is exactly as much gas in the tank as I expect there to be. He says, what do you mean? The gas gauge is not wrong? I said no, I told you the gas gauge is right, but I can't fill up past a few dollars at a time, John says Oh my God I'm gonna have to stop him hold on. I'll call you back. Now, you see, this is no longer the $$$ repair he was hoping for. I don't hear from him for 40 minutes, Ma'am (sneering now, no longer the respectful 'Miss' from earlier when he thought he had a big expensive job on his hands). He says oh there's nothing wrong with your car. I got five dollars worth in to it $5 worth into it. I said I got about that much into it last night too but couldn't fill up. John says You want me to fill it up? I say yes please I have to go back and forth to Long Island this afternoon. What did you find when you looked at the brakes? Ma'am (sneering) I have 2 fuel pumps to put in I don't have time for this. I said, you've had the car for 7 hours and you haven't done anything at all? He said I'll call you back. Now it's an hour later and I have to leave soon for Long Island. I call. No answer. Wait 10 mins, figuring maybe he really is busy. No answer. He's screening my call. I try on my other phone and he answers instantly. Verrazano how can I help you? (all cheery) He hears it's me his whole attitude changes. I said did the car fill up? Yes. I say How can that be? What do you think the problem was and it it going ho happen again and leave me stranded alone somewhere? He says I have no idea. You probably put it in wrong. I said in NJ you don't pump your own gas. I told you the attendant did it and then he had me move to another pump and he tried again. John says Ma'am (dragged out like I'm an idiot) I don't have time for this. I have three fuel pumps to put in. (This is clearly a lie. It went from 2 to 3?) Come and get your car. I asked what about the brakes? Ma'am I'm too busy for you. And he hung up on me. I went to get the car and they called John over. I said you hung up on me. He dropped his eyes to the counter and said the call was disconnected. I said you had my car for 7.5 hours and did nothing but put a tank of gas in it. Ma'am (sneering) I'm busy. I said stop saying ma'am to me because it is not at all respectful. Did men bring those two cars in here? (there was one car in one bay, one bay empty and one bay with a car sitting with no one working on it) he said Yeah so? I said You would never treat a man the way you have treated me today. His face turned a red. I guess that got him mad being called on his mysogyny. I said 4 things and he interrupted me 6 or 7 times shouting at me. Finally saying I'm not here to argue with you. I said no you're here to fix customers cars which you did not do. Arguing is all you seem to have time for. Give me my key. The only bill better be for gas. (It was). I told him his behavior was disgraceful and I was going to be posting a review of this business. Here it is. Btw I took it somewhere else and they knew immediately it was likely vapor lock and unlikely to happen again but what to do if it did. So John probably didn't know what was wrong and thus couldn't turn it into a big money repair. I would suggest to you to avoid this place. Zero communication. Can you imagine if they changed that sensor for no reason because he did not listen to what the actual problems was? Nor did he call to discuss it or to give me a quote for the work? He was having his technician do it and if I hadn't called it would've been too late. To women who want to get their car repaired on their own without dragging a male friend alone for protection, John may try to push you around. And if it's not a quick fix or a big bucks repair, or if he is busy, you may have the same experience I did.

Besides the fact that right of the bat I was turned off by the decor, which does say a lot about the place, we were t here for 3-4 hours while they checked us out. Now comes the extra douche part. The sales agents takes my husbands amex with a simple "Can I see it?" Sure. Here you go...what do you need it for? "I just want to see it" So he sees it. And comes back with a 7,000 charge. No papers were filed asking us for permission and we refused to signed the check. We were told that the charge won't go through and were reassured 3 times. So what happened? It went through. SHADY SHADY SHADY SHADY! Our amex rep was in awe. How does a charge go through without the slip being signed or without written consent? STAY AWAY!

I called to see if the car was ready and I was told that the car needed new brakes and would not pass inspection. I told them not to change the brakes and picked the car up. I then took the car to Midas and paid extra to have them pull the wheels to check the brakes. They told me that the brakes were good for another 15,000 to 20,000 miles. One year later, inspection time again I took the car to a local place and the car failed. He said that it would probably pass at the dealer (I don't know why). I went to Guiffre and the car passed. EVEN THOUGH THE BRAKES HAD NOT BEEN CHANGED. STAY AWAY.... THEY ARE NOT HONEST!!!
