My guy already told me it was because of oil leaking on a hot manifold. But when i went to start it one morning to drive to the mechanic, the battery was totally dead! so i called a tow truck to tow it to my mechanic, and when the tow guy got here, he said he knows my mechanic and its expensive, says he knows a good place and then recommends these twats called Brighton automotive inc! He seemed like a honest guy and i know my regular mechanic kind of overcharges so im like cool, lets take it to these idiots! (But now i realize the tow truck guy is in cohorts with these idiots) If anybody recommends this place to you, say a BIG NO! because thats the trick! im sure he got a kickback. Anyway, we get to Brighton workshop and the old man (i pray he dies in his sleep tonight!) Bill checked it out, fixed the battery (although charged me $700 for new battery and replacement, thats ridiculous already) and then he checked out the main thing, why the car was smoking under the hood and said oh "its an exhaust leak blah blah blah" and he also said "But there is also an oil leak" im like yes i know that, but this smoke coming out the hood, that exactly is causing it? is it the oil leak or the other thing?, he said its the other thing "the turbos, exhaust something something" im like are you sure, he is like ABSOLUTLEY! im like, so if you fix this, the smoking will stop? he says "absolutely! 100% the smoking is not because of the oil leak! i have been working on this cars for many years, trust me , i know!". Im like cool, how much is it to fix, he gives quote of $2,000 im like wtf!!!!! but cool he seemed like a nice guy, old man, funny so im like whatever, fix it, as long has it will stop the smoke from the hood. he again assured me ABSOLUTLY, SMOKING FROM THE HOOD WILL STOP! He then keeps the car for a whole week! a whole week! and today i just went to pick her up and just before reaching home, YOU WONT BELIEVE IT, the smoke comes out of the hood again! like literally 10minutes drive smoke starts coming out (and before i came to pick it up, he said he drove it for 50miles to ensure no more smoking) which was clearly a lie because less than 10mins of driving, car started smoking again! i opened my hood and oil was leaking, clearly its the oil touching the hot manifold that is causing the smoke (like my guy said)! so whatever he fixed for $2,000 has nothing to do with the smoke coming out the hood because its still happening like i didnt just pay 2k for it to be fixed! and he assured it wasnt the oil leak causing the smoke! at this point im not even sure they fixed anything or put any new parts (they quoted me 1k for parts)! im going to be requesting for the parts bought invoice. And the annoying part, when i called to say "yo its smoking again" he was like " thats not possible! i tested it for 50miles, blah blah blah" .... then he starts laughing, this modafuka started laughing on the phone! Bill, you dont know me, you dont know the power of witchcraft, the amount of badluck that will fall on you when when i am done with you spiritually! i feel sorry for you! that 2k i paid you whatever you use it for it will bring back pain to you and your future generation! PLEASE, IF YOU KNOW WHAT IS GOOD FOR YOU AND YOUR POCKET, STAY AWAY FROM KILL BILL AND HIS TEAM! FRAUDULENT , SLOW PEOPLE!

Some needed more repairs and upkeep than others, but Paul is definitely someone I trust. Just a few weeks ago we were going out of town for a funeral and decided to bring it in before we left. Long story short, we brought it in for an oil change and Tuffy found a major issue that needed to be repaired immediately. Tuffy not only saved us the danger of breaking down on our way to the funeral, but they worked out an arrangement with Enterprise to rent a 15 passenger van for my large family! We make it to the funeral safely and returned to have our vehicle repaired and ready to go. Thanks Paul and everyone at Tuffy! David G. Bourbonnais, IL

My car was in and out of the shop for a major issue with the rear differential. The price was fair and they gave me a loaner Jeep to drive while they worked on the car. Paul (the guy who worked on my Volvo) made sure to stay in contact regularly to let me know what was going on and to ask whether or not to go ahead with certain repairs. After my initial repair, I was in an accident where the car spun off the road and rolled onto its side late at night. Tahseen and Paul went above and beyond to make sure everything was alright. After to car was towed to Tuffy, Paul came to the shop personally and made sure my brother and I had a car to get home. Tahseen called to make sure my brother and I were okay. The accident beat my car up but the guys at Tuffy took great care to make sure everything went smoothly. My used Volvo runs better now than it did when I first bought it. These guys will treat you fairly and take care of you, I wouldn't take my car anywhere else for major work. Thanks Tahseen! Benjamin H. Bourbonnais, IL
