Apprx. 6 weeks ago I purchased a 1992 dodge ram-50 from paladin auto for 1,500 (which was above the blue book value). First off, I was told it had a/c, but when I showed up to pick up, I was told it didn't. But for $100 more they would put it in in a few weeks.
3 days after pick up it dropped the tranny in the middle of hwy 19. So I called them and they came out to tow it to their shop. After 3 days and no response I called to inquire when I would get it back, and asked if it was running better than when I first picked it up?
DEBBIE (owner) made many excuses of why it was running bad, but that I could pick it up, and would need to bring it back in a few weeks to give it time for the (new) computer to reset and everything would be re-timed and in sync. At that time it would get new wires and oil change and I'll have a great running truck.
When this happened it was worse, but was told it needed a mass air flow sensor that I could purchase and they would install it for a fee. What happened to the part where I gave them my money up front for the good running truck I was promised? Since then I had 2 certified mechanic's try to fix it and am told it is in un-repairable condition.
When I contacted debbie to resolve this issue, I was told to*-off, and don't ever call her again! The complete electrcal has been rigged, the mass air flow is fine, a new distributer was installed, but didn't help. The transmission linkage was rigged with a box end wrench. There's some fine skills!
If you're wise stay away from paladin auto service!
