They told me they checked electrical, changed ecu, fixed the exhaust (someone before had rubber hosing on it, hole in it), and fixed the vacuum lines. After the job, the car did idle correctly, but only for about a week. So I checked these areas worked on. There were still loose wires like I told them to fix. Idk if they changed the ecu but it looked old and it was just hanging down instead of in place like it should. All the vacuum lines were still old and had slight holes in them. The only thing they actually did was get the rubber hosing off of the exhaust and weld in a metal pipe, but they didn't even have the catalytic converter returning back to the motor like it should for better fuel economy. They cut the return line and plugged it with a large screw and solder. Charged me $520 for all of this work they said they did but didn't do. Will never come back to this rip off place. SAVE YOUR MONEY AND GO SOMEWHERE ELSE.

We had received quotes for the A/C at 2 other companies. To my surprise, John called to say there wasn't a problem with my window! They had repeatedly opened and closed the window without it sticking. He told me he could replace the motor if wanted him to, but there wasn't a reason to. Later that day, John called once again. The A/C Freon was very low! He filled the freon and I drove away with an $80.00 bill. Furthermore, John told me if the A/C stopped working within the next 2 weeks, he would replace the compressor and deduct the $80.00 from the bill. How's that!! An honest and trustworthy mechanic!! Thank you John and all the great people at AMERICAN MALL AUTO!! Sam & Kathy Pettigrew
