She picked the car up after they told her everything was done.  She barely made it out of yard because car would not run.  They stated she needed 4 new oxygen sensors.  She ok'd that again - Picked the car up on Thurs 6/20 - called them Fri. a.m. to let them know car was still running terrible.  They said to bring it in on Sat. a.m.  and that if the sensors had not fixed the problem they could remove them and credit the cost of them.  She was driving on the highway at 60 mph - Thank GOD nothing happened, but when she pulled into a bank parking lot, the front right wheel disconnected from the assembly.  Two different tow drivers told her that she should have been told that the car was unsafe to drive.  (In the list of items that they suggested to be taken care of was ball joint assemblies.)  It was NOT mentioned over the phone nor when she picked up the car that this was an unsafe vehicle.  She could have been killed if the assembly had let loose on the highway, not to mention some other innocent motorist.  We asked if they could remove the new radiator and sensors and refund the cost of these items they said NO - Why is it you can return most any item within 30 days of purchase for a refund - does this not cover auto parts??  This garage allows techs to tell customers the car would be safe for 3000 miles - another tech said we can take out and return sensors - and now they are stating nothing can be done - to reimburse us for the NEW parts that they put in.
 Would you trust your vehicle to a repair shop  who won't tell you that a vehicle is unsafe?  Granted there was a lot of things that needed done - but a simple - NOT SAFE TO DRIVE - would have prevented this from happening.
I would never suggest anyone using this repair garage - Not being mechanics, we need to put our trust in those who are trained to do the work, and the very least we should get is honesty about how safe the vehicle is.
The reason I know how this played out is because I was the one paying for the repairs and my daughter called after each encounter to 1. get permission for additional cost and 2.  that the car would be safe to drive.
