Pierce Auto Parts

I took my VW Vanagon here with an overheating problem.  They told me the engine was the problem and it needed to be replaced.  They had a rebuilt motor one of the mechanics had in one of his own Vanagons that he was willing to sell.  I payed over $2000 for a rebuilt motor and they told me the vehicle was fixed and ready to go on my summer vacation.  I drove the Van not 5 miles down the road and it started overheating again; I wanted to cry.  I took it back to them and after a few days they told me the overheating was the radiator, NOT THE ENGINE THEY REPLACED.  Now I had to pay them for a new radiator plus installation.  This is no joke and I wish this wasnt true, but unfortunately it is.  They offered me no reimbursement, no nothing.  They probably took my original VW engine and put it in their mechanics own VW once they found out they had miss diagnosed the problem.  Dont be fooled by Pierce, the owner, I was dealing with him personally and he smiled to my face all the while screwing me hard.  As far as mechanics go, trust is very important unless you cars yourself, and Pierce deserves no trust, I learned this the hard way.  Also he didnt put the power steering belt on properly when setting the engine up, it kept falling off repeatedly.  Stay away!
