Customer ReviewsforM & A Auto Care

I think I just got majorly taken by my mechanic. 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee. No problems until 2020. Replaced entire cooling system. November 2021, Cruise control went out and then I noticed that it was running a little hotter than usual, at higher RPMs than usual and when I stepped on the gas to pass, it would not downshift and was very laggy. I just manually shifted the transmission and it was fine. I tried to get into a dealership, but with the government paying people not to work, the appointment times are months out at any good dealerships. My neighbor had a device to read the error codes and is a little knowledgeable in vehicle electronics. Error codes where P0128 (thermostat), 0016 Crankshaft/Camshaft Correlation Error Bank 1 Sensor 1, P000B JEEP Code - 'B' Camshaft Position Slow Response Bank 1, P0301 JEEP Code - Cylinder Misfire Fault Detected, and P2800 Code - Transmission Range Sensor 'B' Circuit. After reading the error code he recommended checking the mini coils to the cylinders and checking the wiring harness and vehicle speed sensor. Since I couldn't get and appointment at the dealership and was moving to another state for a new job, I needed someone quick. He recommended the local repair shop which had generally good reviews and been in business since 1993. I took it in and gave them the error codes we pulled and the recommendations to check the mino coils and the wiring harness and vehicle speed sensor. They never called me and I always had to call them and ask what the discovered. They said the whole problem was the timing chain and they needed to proceed to get to the timing chain to check it out. Still didn't hear from them so I dropped in as I needed something out of the vehicle and they said they found bits of metal in the oil and I need a whole new engine for $7,000 and I would not get it back for 2 months. I needed to leave the state in a week for a new job and could not do that, plus it was more than the vehicle was worth. I instructed them to finish the timing chain work. Finally got the vehicle back today after paying $2,500 and it drives exactly the same, no difference. They never checked the mini-coils, wiring harness or vehicle speed sensor. I think they robbed me blind. What do you think?
