I was very impressed and pleased my first time going to these guys we met Mike. I had went to three other places and had quotes. they all said I needed the timing belt replaced on a used car I had just recently purchased. I went to these guys, didn't even tell them what I was told from the previous place just said I thought it was the timing belt. They got me in quickly that day, made myself and my three young children as comfortable as could be while waiting, and did the inspection free of charge. They came back and told me no it was not my timing belt that it had just been replaced within the last two years. they said it was a smaller belt and it would cost under $80 to fix. I then showed them the other quotes I had received all well over $900+ and they went over them and told me nothing on that list needed fixed. I was so thankful I went to them and did not listen to the other places. They gained a life long customer that day. I refer all my friends and family to them.
since then I have went in for all my car issues and they are always friendly and helpful.
Mechanics Pride agreed to Look at it and figure out what was going wrong. They reported the following Problems and costs to repair.
A/C needed Freon. $100
Oxygen Sensor $200
Fuel Pump $1000+
Distributor Cap and rotor $?
I could not afford all of that at once, so I opted to just have them do the first two items.
Result. The engine still started hard and missed badly so I decided to replace the distributor cap and rotor on my own (not a huge job.). In the process I found and corrected another two things wrong. That I think they really should have found. First there was a spark plug wire off. Second a half disconnected and very plugged air cleaner.
After fixing those problems the engine started and ran much better, smoothly at highway speeds. I'm glad I didn't put out the $1000 for a new fuel pump.
P.S. The A/C now cools better but has a distinct "BRRRRRR" when on, overfilled?
