Brake repair service near Red Oak, GA

Thanx

I took my 97 honda CR-V to Walters Auto because it had an intermittent crank and not start engine issue. I left the car for him to diagnose and find the problem. At the end of the day he told me the car was fixed for a balance of close to $400.00. Without contacting me first he installed a aftermarket distributor. After several months the vehicle started having the crank and not start issue again. I diagnose the vehicle myself and fount it to have a bad relay in the alarm system that caused the starting issue. I related this info to Walter and asked if he still had my old distributor and he stated that he used it as core for the new distributor. After checking with the Honda dealership and several auto parts stores. They all declined that when you purchase a new distributor they require you to give them the old one for core. Walter specialized in fixing Honda and Acura vehicles. He did not get a code saying that any component was faulty on my vehicle, but he change out my distributor which was perfectly fine. The car wouldn't start because the relay would expand when it got hot which opened the circuit. I was taken for needless repair and still had the start issue. BEWARE!!! Do not pay for repairs you did not authorize and sign for.

Took my car to have evaluated. I was told that my engine was bad and needed to be replaced. He said he would be swapp my engine out with a engine close to the same miles I had on my car. So I agreed to have my engine changed. This would have been a good time to tell me that it's only 30 days on a used engine. but he did not disclose this information to me. He went and got the car emissions done and told me he had been driving my car and it was running fine. Two days later and paying 4081.00 I pick my car up it seemed fine. I wasn't able to test drive the car because of Covid the DMV was closed. so it was close to three months until I was able to get a tag for car. I finally got the tag and drove the car, I noticed a pull from the car when I put the car in drive, it snatched into gear. I took car back and the mechanic RL adjusted something on the engine so that took care of the problelm. Still didn't informe me about 30 days for a used engine. I drove the car for two weeks and the car is surging and smoking from the tail pipe. I call R.L to tell him what's going on. He says bring the car in. I had a video of what was going on with the car. I informed R.L I got advice from another mechanic and was told this is because coolant is getting into the engine which point to a bad head gasket, and the surging could possibly be the air intake control valve and the problem was engine related Which R.L agreed that it probably was the IAC and he would have fixed it "IF" he knew it was bad He then suggested put 20 w 50 in the engine. I called another mechanic and told them what my car was doing and what advice I was giving from RL. And was told to ask for the paper work on the engine. I have not received no information on the engine he installed in my car to this very day. And putting 20 w 50 was not going to solve my issue. So I take the car back because of the surging and mind you it's still smoking. I also was getting water in the trunk so R.L looked into these issued and charged me 80.00.I was told by R.L that my Power steering rack need replacing and he would fix my IAC for aprox 1100.00 dollars. This has been the worst experince with this shop. My car is sitting unable to drive. I gave him ONE star because a rating was required. He deserves 0 stars. We'll end up in court I'm sure.
