The price quoted for a new catalytic converter was well over $1200.00, which I declined. I went to a Volvo dealer back home who charged less than $500.

This was 4 or 5 yrs ago but I brought my antique car into them and asked if it was something they could fix,as not everyone can.The guy in the shop said no problem and he thought he knew 2hat the problem was from my description,so I left it with them and 2 days later they said it was fixed and ready and I picked it up after hrs,having paid the bill on the phone.About 2 miles down the road it was apparent they had not fixed it as it was still doing the exact same thing.Over the next 2 weeks this happened 3 more times,with new parts involved each time and more $ involved,with no change in the problem.Finally I got mad and asked why they even told me they could fix it if they could not,and why they kept telling me it was fixed when it wasn’t.They got mad and told me they couldn’t figure out the problem and that I should probably get someone else to put in a new transmission.I then took a look at one of the bills and what I’d been charged for one of the parts and it was 5 times the amount I would have paid for it at my usual parts place and I asked the woman who owns the place about it,and she told me that my parts were inferior and I said that was not true,as I’d always had good luck with them,but she insisted and when I asked her how it could cost 5 times what the other place charged she just said,”because that is what I charged you”period,End of conversation.End of doing any business with that woman and place.I spent about $1000.00 there,lost 2 weeks time and my car left there in the same shape as I gave it to them,along with a little ding on the hood which they would not admit to.WORST REPAIR SHOP I HAVE EVER WORKED WITH-DO NOT LET THEM ANYWHERE NEAR YOUR VEHICLE OR EXPECT THEM TO BE HONEST OR COMPETENT

I arrived without an appointment for an unexpected and much-needed repair. After a brief wait, the problem was fixed and weeks later I can confirm there are no issues. Friendly folks and great quality service. I will be back. Jim T. Punta Gorda, FL
