Then go on to say sorry the heat only works on the passenger side and ac only works on driver side and to fix THAT issue they will charge me another 200 for diagnostic and from there it will be anywhere from 1k to 3k more. All they did was change the heat motor in the car which another Machanic I took it to said would have been 200. To top that off they left my driver side window open in the rain and now my car has a puddle in it. PLEASE be aware of these guys they will scam you I promise.

I call the tow company and suggest the nearest auto shop. Unfortunately it was Auto Tech in Stamford. Service writer told me $129 for diagnose before he can give estimated price for a repair. He call later that day and said the technician has found nothing major issue except I need a new battery and minor engine tune-up. He quoted a price of $650. I said I have other concern about my AC is not blowing cold. He said they will do another diagnose and give me a quote to fix it. They found out my car need a new AC condenser which cost $750 to fix. All in all I paid $1400 after my Triple A discount. I ask about the warranty he said 2 years. After a month my AC is not working again so I bring it back and they told me the new AC condenser works fine the problem is the compressor it need to be replace. it’s kind of fishy to me because when they diagnose my AC for the first time there’s nothing wrong with the compressor now they insist it’s broken and wants me to spend a $1000. Sorry to say but these guys are crooks and untrustworthy. I suggest to avoid this shop they will take your money and never fix the problem.

I brought them my car for some very minor maintenance-level repairs. To make a long story short they damaged multiple components of my vehicle, and then bullied me into paying them to repair damage they caused by threatening to discontinue work on the vehicle and have it towed out of their garage. Watching them work, their confusion and incompetence in correcting the problems with the vehicle were palpable, as they fumbled struggled with basic repair procedures. While the car was in their possession it sustained multiple scratches to the finish, including a nasty scratch right down to metal on the trunk which I noticed immediately upon receiving the car back. In addition to this he delivered the car to me reeking of gasoline or starting fluid fumes that took an entire day to go away and I discovered large swaths of carpeting which were stained by oil drippings. Immediately after returning home I realized that a very important, critical system in my vehicle was severely malfunctioning, despite the fact that it had always worked normally and only began to exhibit any kind of problem after coming out of HIS Mickey Mouse garage. When I confronted the owner the next day to express my dissatisfaction over his shop's work, my very reasonable concerns were greeted with a persistent, brusque indifference, and he was adamant in maintaining a position of total denial of any wrongdoing on the part of his shop. First they claimed that the system they had damaged was actually operating properly and that I was confused, and after being confronted with published documentation from the manufacturer proving them wrong, they quickly shifted their story to the stereotypical "it must have been like that", mantra that is a characteristic staple of shady garage guys from here to Timbuktu. All in all, this incompetent gararge ended up charging me many of dollars for issues which should have been resolved for a fraction of the cost, vandalized my car and, after being called out, refused to repair the damage his shop caused or provide any restitution or redress of any kind. I'm a very dissatisfied customer.
