I had my car for repair. They told me I have to pay $96.88 for diagnostic test
They told me it will take about 2 hours to 3 because they had other customers ahead mo me. So I left the car with them and went home. They will call me when the finish the diagnostic. After 3 hours they told me nothing is wrong with the car and you can pick it up they said. I told them there is something wrong with the radiator fan. Its not turning on when you turn on the AC. I told them there is something wrong with the fuse or the thermostat switch.
They said that they will look in to it. After an hour they said that your condenser fan is burn out and needs to be replace. I told them how much is the fan? They replied that its expensive it cost $200 I replied why so expensive. They said because its for Accura. I told them ok install it. I got the car and the bill was $333
I did not look inside the hood. I trusted them and just paid and drove away
When I came to my home I look at the install fan. I began to see that it looks the same fan. And it was dusty. I doubt they replace the fan.
I ask myself why did they replace the condenser fan when the condenser fan was working. It was the radiator fan that is not working. The bad thing is that the radiator fan keep running for hours during the night the next day my car did not start the battery was drained and dead.
I had to jumpstart my car and went back to the repair shop to complain.
They said that there was other problem in your car that did not come out until we replace the fan. It may be your battery or alternator. I told them my battery is just a year old. Maybe your alternator. I replied Hey your going the wrong way. Its like the problem is on my left hand and your telling me its on the right hand side.
I have told them the problem is the thermo switch sensor. That need to be replace. They said no its the fan that is why we replace it because it got burn. So how did it get burn? For a short run or for running over night? And draining my battery
I met there a lady who was also complaining about the repair of her car she said they change her timimg belt. The lady said how can they change it when she bought it a week ago. And its still new.
I left and went to work. I did not know one of my office staff had his car repaid at the same shop I got rip off. He told me he had his car's AC repaired in there and spend $ 1000.00 for the repair that his AC still not working With his fustration he sold his car.
There are a lot of people being victimize by this repair shop. I hope that people would stay away from this Repair shop. And hope it shuts down
