While being repaired I got told that both heads and camshaft were good, now all of a sudden I needed 2 injectors, and the new lifters I purchased were bad..he had to supposedly switch some stuff from the other side to make it work. Now I need a camshaft because the valves weren't moving then mysteriously now the camshaft is good after I showed him a video of them moving before he installed anything so he gave me back 7 out of the 32 lifters (16 new/16 old) that look like the ones that were already in there...so after going back and forth again and waiting up there, Mike says everything is good to go it wasn't...I didn't even have it home for a couple of hours. It cut off 3 times, surging, hard starting, stalling, ticking, and now a cylinder 5 misfire (the head that was supposedly good but never touched). Never had this problem before they worked on it. I took the truck back, and now he's trying to blame it on my parts because they are aftermarket or saying it is something else like a fuel-related problem (injector, fuel pump) keep in mind that the driver-side head didn't get removed...upon observing the engine the driver's side head was never removed and my parts weren't installed but he said he did. The bolts were still rusted and the original. I bought new manifold bolts that were installed on the passenger side but not the drivers along with gaskets etc. So now the parts I purchased weren't installed and I do not have them and he's coming up with an excuse and now I have to find out what they did with them since they weren't installed...so for $2300 that's paid in full my truck is there still and now we are going back and forth. He charged me for fluids, diagnostics, mufflers, catalytic converter, and installation of lifters and gaskets for both sides and only did the passenger side. I should have followed my first mind, and went somewhere else..this shop can't be trusted and the bad reviews are real...Thursday makes 2 weeks and Mike supposedly had a family emergency and won't be back for a couple of days... I've emailed the Mayor of Westland, will contact the BBB and the State of Michigan, and will more than likely have to go to small claims court the way it's looking.

They told me that it needed a transmission. I agreed to have them do the work. Then they told me that the #5 cylinder wasn't firing, and it needed a motor. I was shocked but I figured they knew what they were doing. So I agreed to have them put a motor in also. They continued to say that the #5 cylinder wasn't firing, even after replacing the motor and transmission. They kept saying that "We have to go deep." I picked up my car and asked if it was safe to drive it. I was told that that took it on the highway and it runs great. On the way home I couldn't even get through an intersection after stopping at a red light. I tried to turn on the emergency flashers and they didn't work! I had enough, I took my car to a dealership. They pointed out where Ford and Wayne Auto Care had replaced an oxygen sensor and left the old one hanging underneath my car. There were vacuum hoses that were not attached, wires that were not connected, and parts that were being held on with zip ties. Unfortunately, the dealership was very busy and they could not take care of these issues. I had contacted BBB and they suggested that I take it back to Ford and Wayne Auto Care because they are obligated to fix the issues because it was under warranty. I reluctantly took my car back to them. They replaced another oxygen sensor and now my car is back on the road. It is not 100% by a long shot. I feel that it was probably the oxygen sensor the whole time, not the motor or transmission, and they charged me $5,080 for a whole lot of work that didn't need to be done. And on top of that, they broke something in the front end of my car so now when I make a sharp left turn there is a horrible grinding and clunking noise. I would not recommend this place to anyone for anything.

I drove my 2000 Volvo S80 to get it diagnosed because the engine kept missing even after new parts were replaced. This took place on October 16th of 2019 and all I've been getting about this problem is the runaround from a mechanic named Rich. Initially I was told that the engine may need to be replaced with a price tag of $2700.00. I went out to the shop to put half of the deposit for the engine and then was told that the engine was fine, but it was the engine control module that was in need of repairs. Instead of Rich contacting me of the status of the module, I've had to keep calling and then Rich never calls back when he says. It's been over a month of waiting and this is unacceptable as my wife needs to be cared for and taken to her oncologist for cancer treatments at U of M hospital. At this point and right now, I want my car back with the original module and my $500.00 since nothing but waste time has been done. I caution anyone considering this place for repairs as they are just monkeying around and wasting people's time and money.
