I bought a vehicle from a individual named John Martin, who is a Mechanic at Genesee Shell (Automobile Smog Brake & Lamp Inspection Repair) said "he just rebuilt the engine approxemently 6 months ago and that the engine was fine and he qauranteed that the engine was good I only paid $2000.00 for the vehicle so I did not care about the looks, although there was no dents, or rust it did need a paint job, I knew that and was fine with that I just told him I wanted a realiable work truck. He garaunteed this vehicle was in excellent running conditions. Considering the fact that he was a mechanic I took his word for it and purchased the truck.
I then brought the truck home and had it sanded and painted which cost a pretty penny, then I drove my new work truck to work getting to work was not a problem, getting home did not happen the truck over heated, I stopped it immediately, and had it towed home. I then had another mechanic come over to see what the problem was the engine was blown, it needs new rods, pistons, heads were cracked, water was in the oil in other words I need a new engine.
I then contacted John Martin at his place of business Genesee Shell, and he said "oh you must of over heated it" I drove the truck a total of 12 miles, and now I need a new engine he told me he would call me and work something out that was a week ago I still have not heard from him, and now I really dont know if I want too.
This is my story. And I want other's to be aware of his deceiving mannor.
Thank you
