Made repairs on something another than what i took my car in for Ripoff Saint Petersburg

Took my car into doug's auto repair/advised him of the problem

I was having with my car cutting off when ever the car made a stop. Advised doug to test drive the car so that he would be better able to determine and feel the problem for himself. He called me back state he did not need to drive the car with my coolant gone and the car running ruff he diagnoise the car as my head gasket. I asked him four or five times was he sure this was the problem. Still not sure he was giving me correct infor
i had my boyfrind/as well as my brother inlaw give him a call.

I do what to mention i had takne the car to two other shops before taking it to doug/both shop indicated it to be some problem with a electric censor/advised doug of the other two findings he stated he was 100% sure my car needed head gasket after doug completed the work I paid him $1,099.71 in cash.

Took the car drove it home no problem. Took it to work the next day car still doing the excat same thing it was doing before i took the car in. Called doug advised him car cut off again durning the exact same thing it was doing before he repair it state it would be a few days before he could get to it. So i continued to drive the car the next taking the back streets to get to work/one friday the 19th three days after he fix my car
