Business ProfileforMcCabe's Automotive Specialists Inc

I took my **** Escape to ******** 7/11/22 to check out issue with slipping in first gear. It is the closest place to where I live. They kept the car 4 days. They charged me $146.21 to diagnose the transmission. I got a call from *** the Service Manager who told me transmission bad, coolant sensor bad and would cost $6000 for transmission or $3600 for rebuild and another $1000+ to replace coolant sensor. I told him I could not afford new or rebuilt transmission. I asked to find a used one. 3 days later when I got no call back, I called McCabes and was told by ***'s coworker that he couldn't find a used transmission. I went that day on my lunch hour to pick up the car. I spoke to *** who gave me the attached "diagnostic testing" they did. He DID find a used transmission with a 3 month warranty but he said he "can't in good conscience" put that into my car because it had more miles than my car. I said but at least it's working and mine isn't and asked him to put it in. He refused to put in that transmission. It was then documented I declined a rebuild. Yes - I did! Because there was a used one available that I could afford! *** was not having any part of anything unless he was going get thousands of dollars out of me! They charged me $146.21 for the diagnostics and gave me this bogus paperwork stating all these various things wrong with my car. After waiting a few weeks until I could finally get my car into AAMCO, they ran the same diagnostics. NOTHING wrong that ******** listed except for the transmission and even that was not what *** said was wrong. No issue with coolant sensor, no issue with battery, no issue with power steering fluid, no issue with heater blower, ignition or anything else they listed! Oh - but I do have 2 wheel bearings gone bad which ******** didn't check?? I want my money back! This is nothing short of shoddy and fraudulent tactics on ******** part. They shouldn't be in business in my personal opinion.
