I dropped off my vehicle here because my transmission was leaking fluid. They had changed my tranny with a rebuilt one about 5 years ago, so naturally I brought it there since they were the last to work on it. A mechanic inspected the leak, Frank confirmed it, and called me for the assessment.
He told me that my side gasket had a major leak, and I had a minor leak from the pan gasket, and also a leak from my oil pan gasket. He was charging over $1000.00 for the work. I declined because those gaskets shouldn't be leaking in the 1st place after he rebuilt the tranny not too long ago.
He called me back and said he'd give me a special discount to $750. I still declined, picked up my car, and brought it to a buddy's place to take a look.
RIPOFF: Turns out, the tranny had a huge crack in it and that's where the leak was coming from! Not only that, it was as clear as DAY and a person 95% blind could of seen it, let alone 2 tranny specialists! Then I saw that the only gasket that was leaking was the oil pan gasket! The other 2 were absolutely fine! In all likelihood, he was going to drop the tranny, change the gaskets for a grand, then suddenly "Discover" that the tranny was cracked, then Wham! Hit me for another $2500.
