Speedy Greasy Service

I won’t star this place, but will review it.
Derek, the owner, is wonderful. Reasonable prices, and good work.
His associate, Jim, on the other hand is a rip off artist.
Our drive train snapped, and he quoted us $ 1600, to replace it, the transmission and the clutch.
He kept our car two weeks, saying he was waiting on the transmission delivery… Once he was finished the car drive good for one day.
I took it to my regular mechanic, who had quoted more, but I should have just gone with, only to find out I was totally screwed.
He put the wrong drive shaft on, it was the wrong year, an automatic, I have a manual, and if course too short. Annnnd when removing the snapped drive shaft, he cut the bolts of with a torch, instead of just taking them off, damaging my frame. Also he never replaced the trans, this was supported by comparing serial numbers, and nothing was wrong with it. He didn’t touch the clutch, which also was fine, which I knew, because I had just had it replaced two years prior.
So all in all, he took us for $ 1800 total to… Screw up my car. And now I have to pay my regular, trusted mechanic another $ 1200 to repair all the damage, and have a special bracket fabricated, to hold my new drive shaft in place.
