    Answered
    I took my 2011 **** ***** ******** ****** to Hometown for a Check Engine Light. I drove my jeep into the dealership, but wasn't able to drive it away after they changed the engine with a used engine. I paid 1187.50 on 8/31/21 to have Hometown tear the engine down and do a diagnostic test to see what was wrong with my Jeep. I did not get my jeep back until 11/5/21. My insurance ***** **** paid Hometown 5253.85 to replace the engine in the jeep. I had to buy another Vehicle in the meantime to get to work and rent a vehicle twice. I took my jeep to another shop after Hometown replaced the engine and I had to put it on a trailer, because i wasn't able to drive it after they replaced the engine. The new repair shop that i took it to did a diagnostic test and found missing bolts, clamp not positioned correctly on hose, no antifreeze in the radiator, due to a hole Hometown punched in it. Check engine light is still on and Hometown never cleared the original codes from when it went into the shop. Front tire was flat when i picked up the vehicle. I have pictures of the damage Hometown did to my vehicle and the messed up work they performed on my jeep. I had to buy another vehicle to get to work with, because they had my jeep for 3 to 4 months replacing the engine and it still is not able to be drove. I should of been able to drive my jeep off the lot at Hometown. They changed what was wrong with my jeep from the original diagnosis they gave me in the beginning. They voided the warranty on my engine they replaced, because of the whole that they put in the radiator. I feel they did poor work and tried to take advantage of me because I am a women. I don't want other women to be treated this way by any business or anyone in that fact. I am currently still working with my insurance to try and get the Jeep fixed properly. I made payments on this jeep and carried full coverage on it while it was in the shop for 3 to 4 months.

    I've never took my vehicle to a dealership before and have them give me a list of things wrong with my vehicle. Then change what they originally said was wrong with the vehicle. Also, i have never drove my vehicle into a dealership and not be able to drive it away had to have it put on a trailer to take to another shop, Other shop found missing bolts from the motor replacement that was done, no antifreeze in the radiator and the front tire was almost flat when I picked the vehicle up. I had to call the insurance myself to get supplement claims paid for like oil in the engine that they replaced. How do you drive a vehicle into a dealership for a check engine light and not be able to drive the vehicle out of the dealership? Replacement engine has no warranty on it. When i originally took it to the dealership for the check engine light they charged me 1187.50 to tear the engine down to see what was going on with it. when I went back to clean the vehicle out after the dealership had put the vehicle back together, i found the whole back of the jeep filled with parts that the dealership didn't put back on the vehicle even though they was paid to put it back together. The dealership even broke the dipstick off the original engine. There wasn't no leaks and it was drive able when i took it to this dealership. Took it to the dealership because i wanted a warranty on the work being done. Now i have a vehicle i cant drive and I was still making payments on this vehicle and carrying full coverage while it was in the shop for about 3 months . I had to buy a used vehicle because it was taking so long for the repairs to be made to my vehicle. The dealership claims the steering Gear was leaking really bad. It wasn't leaking when I took it there, i believe they damaged when they was moving it around ,but didn't want to fix it unless i paid for it myself. Would NEVER take a vehicle here or recommend this place for someone.
