      Complaint Type:
      Service or Repair Issues
      Status:
      Answered
      I paid $1859.20 for repairs on my vehicle. I initially took my 2001 chrysler sebring lx in for a diagnostic. The oil service light was blinking on my vehicle. The receipt states 7 services performed. 1 service (power steering belt) was unauthorized and another was unfulfilled (timing chain tent cover plate). I was told that the timing chain tent cover plate #*******AA would be repaired at no additional charge (apparently it's obsolete and the part can't be found). So, knowing they were not going to be able to repair the actual problem they performed unnecessary repairs. Now, they are saying I need additional repair services and it will cost more money. They have not ordered part #*******AA and repaired it although it's listen under services performed. My car initially only had a blinking light as a symptom and I didn't notice it losing oil. Now, there is a 2ft puddle of oil in my parking space at my residence. I also checked the box to have my parts that were removed returned to me and they were not.

      ???????????? Took to *****'s for a brake master cylinder replacement. Next Day Van Wouldn't Start, Turns Over Won't Start. They told me the reason why my van won't start is because it's leaking fluids. It's been leaking fluid since I bought it 4 years ago and did over ****** miles.I took my van **** to get the break master cylinder replaced. They got the job done, but when I got home the next day, it wouldn't start, then started running only on 3 cylinders. I found a vacuum line that they cracked, so I fixed it, and it's still not running, so I don't know what they did to my van.My van was running just fine before I took it to this shop, and the next day, it just stopped working. So if you want your vehicle to come out with more problems then it went in with, I would recommend this place. I truly didn't want to take my Van **** to begin with because of last time.But I went against my better judgment and took my van t****, and now it doesn't run at all. But ran perfectly fine for over ****** miles and across the country. I've done DoorDash. I've done a lot of things in my van. In fact, I actually live in it. So the fact that it doesn't run now, ****** me off.I would definitely not recommend this place to anybody. Because every time I come ****, t****'s a f_ing problem. And now, this time, it's probably gonna cost me hundreds of dollars just to figure out what the messed they did.
