      Complaint Type:
      Service or Repair Issues
      Status:
      Answered
      On Saturday, May 6th, at 9:03am, I went to National Muffler to repair an exhaust pipe and replace a mount hook that holds the pipe to the undercarriage. I was told that the mount hook would be replaced and that the muffler pipe would be repaired. When i returned on the same day at a approximately 12:30p to retrieve my vehicle, I drove it straight home. When i got home, I examined the muffler and discovered that the mount hook I paid to have replaces was NOT replaced! The original mount hook was reattached to my vehicle's undercarriage which contradicted the service I agreed to have completed. I reached out to the business who stated that the agreement was to replace the mount hook IF I purchased a new muffler though that was not the original agreement. This issue can be resolved by simply replacing the mount hook with a brand new mount hook which is what the original agreement was between the business and I.

      Looking for a leak repair at this shop. The owner Mickey & his son Sugunder assumed they knew what was going on with my car. I had left my car for 3 days. When picking up my car I did not have a check engine light but I had a maintenance light on. When asking Sugunder about it he did not know anything about it. I drove my car for a few days & then took it back because the leak was not fixed. Sugunder told me to leave my car for another additional 4 days & still, my leak is not fixed. I paid them 2,300 for the work in full. I asked Mickey & Suggunder for my finalized receipt they refused to give me my receipt & gave me my car keys. I also noticed that my car had a check engine light when I got into my car. I called Mickey back over to my car. After all, I did not want to leave the lot just yet before inspecting my vehicle & asked him to fix it because I never had a check engine light ever. Mickey responded in a rude tone. That was like that already so I do not know what to tell you. I proceed to tell this man I have a video and pictures from before I dropped my car off to them & I know for a fact my car has never had any engine issues. Plus I have records of my car's condition at my oil changing shop. I never had any check engine light issues on my car before I took it to this establishment. Mickey proceed to plug his machine into my car & wrote down a code & then he cleared the check engine light. I took my car back to Scrubb a Dub to have my leak checked & my maintenance light checked by one of the experienced guys there. At Scrub a Dub they told me that I needed an oil change & I have a power steering leak, not an oil leak. Scrub a Dub added more power steering fluid for me and reset the maintenance light once I paid for another oil change. Since Mickey & his son did my oil change wrong. Now I will be looking for a trustworthy mechanic. Horrible business and horrible owners. I will never recommend this trash of a shop for repairs. They need to be **** down.
