12-21-23 held vehicle over 3 wks for a radio no audio, found blown breakers & antenna wire off. charged excessively for entire fuse box/fuses without ever ID of cause of electrical fault. further found a brake line leak (prior owner had patched with ** **** at fitting which held up 14 mos 'til slow leak began--replaced both rear main hard lines rather than replacing the leaking fitting--a difference of $140 hr shop rate for 1 hr diag/repair/fix double flared connector unit versus what he ultimately charged at approx $1500 tearing out both lines due to potential of a future problem, plus the additional amount of the original $334 audio excessive repair charge, still incomplete. leveraged charges against release of car after 3wks--total misrepresentations of what he would authoritatively do & not what the customer suggested as viable. he stated his way was only legal way without any other option, unquestionably incorrect, ethically or legally, on which he hung his entire presentation/argument, then holding us hostage to his methodology 3 wks later. first day ultimatum tear down of brake lines, no other work 'til put back together on last day, 12-21-23. owner forced full statement payment for release of vehicle, a claim now under financial & legal claim protests. my opinion of egregious wrongdoing work & pricing. if mutually rectified, i will honor reasonable payment for EARNED product/service, not a greedy last min pre-Christmas ripoff of that with was absolutely not without legal alternative solutions. there were several low cost, yet, once i gleaned what might be going on, he stated he'd already pulled the lines before my return call on that first day & no further progress on incomplete work for 3wks. the invoice pricing does match what he did, but was well advised not what was desired to meet customer expectations, proprietor CHARGING ahead without due regard diligence, highly authoritatively! Buyers beware leveraging to place customer in untenable scenario!
