Business ProfileforStockton Automotive

This is a dangerous thief and a con man who knows nothing about cars. I took my car in because I thought it had a transmission problem. The guy told me it was a bad rear end and charged me $1,133.00. He demanded all the money before he would release my car. Then he charged me $70.00 to add three quarts of transmission fluid. The fix did not change the problem at all. He told me he needed to do more work to solve the problem and it would cost me more, but now I could drive it to ****** and be safe. I did and it got worse. I took it to another mechanic and he said the rear end had never been changed. The problem was a wheel bearing and that was a fifteen-dollar part, but it had been driven on a bad wheel bearing to the point that now the bearings were fused to the hub so it would all have to be replaced. Now it is a $300.00 fix. He added that driving on a worn-out bearing is dangerous. It can fail and the wheel assembly could come off, causing a wreck, or the wheel can lock up and flip the vehicle. He also informed me that someone overfilled the transmission fluid and now the seals have to be replaced for another $200.00. This Stockton idiot lied and stole and destroyed more of my car. When I called to talk to him about it he became belligerent and threatened me physically. The police say I cannot even get a protective order until he acts. The good news is, since I am a senior citizen, it will be a hate crime. Yea, when he kills me it will be an automatic life sentence. I'll still be dead! Stay away from this thief at all costs. He bragged about having other businesses. More things to steal money from people.
