The shop: 3043 Meade Ave Las Vegas, NV 891023043 Meade Ave The service: A 60,000- 1991 porsche The sell: "I'm sure you want to keep this all original, porsche parts, correct?" Rachel, the decoy, had a Linda Tonys wife pricing the service at $249.95. Carl's Place: You can pay for the upgrade of the plugs or don't do it at all. Don't put no cheap ass plugs in there 'cause the car won't run." A man who introduces himself as Tony rediculously over charged the price. "If you did it the right way with all Porsche parts, you're looking at $2995.00. That's with the Porsche plugs and the synthetic transmission fluid." Rachel never receives a written estimate. According to Tonys wife Linda, they will replace the spark plugs, change the oil and filter, the transmission oil and filter, the crank case filter, the air filter, the differential fluid, drain and refill the radiator, and conduct a brake inspection. Tony also promises to service the battery and flush the power steering fluid. As Rachel leaves, the mechanic goes to work unaware the Channel 7 I-Team and the Nevada attorney general's office can track his every move. Hours earlier photojournalists David Suarez and Kyle Zuelke outfitted the bait car with hidden cameras and using low-tech materials like nail polish, paper and paint, investigators with the attorney general's office marked every part. Two and half hours later, Rachel returns. The bill comes to $2907.15. The invoice has a service we didn't ask for -- a fuel injection cleaning -- and it's missing that power steering flush Tony promised to throw in at no charge. He says, "This your first time in our shop? What did you think of the service?" The I-Team reserves judgment until after the play-by-play. We see the mechanic change the oil and the filter, drain the tr

I left it for repairs. When picking it up I asked to see the broken transmission parts and they said they "couldn’t find them." Within 20 minutes of leaving the shop the vehicle started stalling out again and it had more problems that weren't happening when I dropped it off. Called them and they said it must be "something else" and to bring it back so they could fix it under warranty. I took it back so they could "make it right" as they put it. I was told it was ready and to pick it up at a specific time and day. When I showed up, they weren't open, no one was there and no one answered the phone. Eventually I got it back and it stalled yet again. Took it to another shop and they found a cut engine ground wire within an hour of dropping it off. So much for a transmission problem... A week later I found an unauthorized charge on my credit card from them for services not rendered. Within 2 weeks I found faulty transmission parts on the vehicle that were not from the manufacturer, which is strange considering I've never had any work done on or near the transmission and I bought it new. At this point I am finding sabotaged parts on the vehicle, which is funny considering the Chevy Shop kept trying to buy the vehicle and were extremely upset when I declined. I wonder if they sabotaged the vehicle in hopes of me getting frustrated so I would sell it to them dirt cheap? Avoid this dishonest place at all cost!!
