      Status:
      Answered
      I own a 2014 Ford Focus and it had engine light came on one day in Aug. 2023. My usual mechanic was all booked up, and I decided to go to my neighborhood Grismer to get this checked out. Prior to going to Grismer, I stopped by the Autozone to get this diagnosed. Autozone's report showed to replace evaporative emission (EVAP) Canister Vent. Went to Grismer on Aug. 8th and explained that I brought a reference paper from Autozone that shows to replace EVAP. Chris, a representative at Grismer, said that they will not run another diagnostic because it is $150.00 but they will make sure that Autozone diagnosed correctly. According to the invoice from Grismer, there is no guarantee this will fix the issue. However, they replaced the vent valve and they also found a broken wire going to the vent valve. total charged $346.01 *On Aug. 15th, the engine light came back on and I took my car back to Grismer. They now stated that they found addition wiring on top of fuel tank damaged and charged additional $281.21 * On Aug. 23r. the engine light came back on, and I took the car back to Grismer. they stated that they have done repairs to wiring for EVAP above the fuel tank and could not duplicate the issue at this time. I thought they already fixed EVAP on Aug. 8th?? *on Sept. 7th, the engine light came back on, and I took my car back to Grismer to explanation. They are now saying that they found a leak at the fuel fill neck and it will cost me $547.60???? * I can honestly say that Grismer is trying to make money off of female customers because they think we do not know about cars. * Why couldn't they diagnose it correctly to begin with? * I took my car back with the same problem for x4 and the issue is still not fixed. and I want my money back. - so inconvenient on my part to make time to take it to them. * I only took my car to Grismer because my mechanic was all booked up for the month of August, and I wasn't sure if this is an urgent issue.

      Never again. I used to trust Grismer on South 4th Street Columbus. I had been going to them for years. However, over the last couple years with some turnover of mechanics, they are constantly trying to upsell, and over charge. As so many reviews with the BBB, it starts off with, "I brought my car in for an oil change. $1500 later..." My car sounded fine when I brought it in to them. When I left my muffler sounded like a Harley. They egregiously damaged my muffler on purpose and wanted to charge me another $1500 to repair the damage they caused. I took my car to a reliable serviceman, and they fixed it for a third of what Grismer was attempting to extort from me. I'm putting this onto the BBB site and asking them to review the rating they give. them. Also considering filing a complaint with the Attorney General Department of Consumer Fraud.
