Electrical repair service near Lauderhill, FL

I had taken my car to the dealer and they told me I needed about $2,000 work on my Mercedes. I took the car to Euro Auto Performance after a friend recommended them. I am so happy that I did. I needed something completely different that was less than half of what was told to me. I am a single woman and I really appreciate the honesty of Euro Auto Performance. Thanks, Sotos and Diane.

During the summer of 2012, the engine in my 1991 Porsche 911 was rebuilt. At the same time, the Climate ECU failed and was sent to Specialized ECU to be rebuilt for $350 with a 5 year warranty. The Climate ECU ran fine for about 18 months and then failed in the spring of 2014 and was returned to Specialized ECU for warranty repair service. The ECU removal instructions contain no information about the Climate ECU also controlling the engine cooling as well. Their web sites states “In most cases the usual turnaround time is 3-5 days.” One year later the repairs to my Climate ECU have not been completed. My Porsche was driven without adequate engine cooling provided by the Climate ECU computer. I found this out when the engine failed less than two years after a complete rebuild. No compression in one cylinder, damaged heads and a $9,000 repair bill. Specialized ECU did not repair my unit in “3-5 days” or even 3-5 months – it’s been a year. After multiple emails and assurances that the repairs would be completed in days, the best Specialized ECU can offer was a refund of $350 and the return the failed ECU unit. So Specialized ECU has left me with a $9,000 engine repair bill and a Climate ECU which will not cool the engine so the car is undriveable. Additionally, my best option is to purchase a new Climate ECU for $2,000. I would like to share my experience with Specialized ECU to help others in their decision process.

First they forgot the two appointments I had made. One on a Sunday they forgot, then the Monday lunchtime for an oil change. After two apologies they did the oil change and filter on Tuesday. They kept stressing how I required, "a full car checkup for only $25". I declined. I drove home and checked the oil. A good portion of it was over the engine, as they had not screwed the oil filler cap down enough. 2 days later I went back and told them and also mentioned that the transmission was shifting erratically and they stressed how important a full car checkup would be at this point and how they could do a full service on the transmission, although I had had NO problems till this point. I went elsewhere and the vacuum hose leading to the shifter actuator on the side of the transmission had been removed and neatly coiled up on the side of the engine. I thought about going in swinging to the mental midget who runs the place, but realised it would not do anything. These jokers should not be allowed to be in business. Please avoid them at all costs.

I want second opinion, and repair or used replacement

Great service from this company - not many specialise in the repair of these units and I had mine repaired very efficiently and the price was good. I am based in the UK and was very impressed with their service. Greg

Quick and Friendly service! These guys are great!!!!

This place is a scam, stay away. They are unprofessional and unreliable. I would bet money they are unlicensed. They will take your money and not preform the service!
