Tow driver diagnosed thermostat & maybe stat housing. I called 8am Fri to introduce self. No call still by 1p so I called Kings. Told "your car's next. I'll call you w/est." 4pm no call from Kings. I called Kings. Told 'your car's next. I'll call you in 10 mins" No call. I called Kings 5pm 'Oh, sorry; that's my fault; I was in a meeting". I asked when car worked on?.Told "I'll call you Monday". Car sat all day Fri w/no diagnostic, call or repair. Mon AM received call "timing belt $980+ repair". I had car towed ($100)to my regular guy. Thermostat, coolant, rubber seal $100 total NOT $1K!

The guy at the counter explained what was wrong and gave me two options, that I actually understood. They also gave us a 2 year warranty which seemed better than most shops, but don't quote me on that. I will be back.

He told me that i need to fix my thermostat and there is a leaking problem in my car as well. He told me that he even could t find the thing that was leaking. He was fixing my car last Saturday, and just wasted my time and money. He started at 11 am and finished at 9 pm. He told me that he started to fix smth else instead of the thermostat because first he couldn't t find that thermostat. Eventually when he found that thermostat, he wasn't able even to fix it. I came home from my job on Friday, and there was a steam coming from my car, so on Saturday i called this idiot, who doesn't know his job at all. I was home on Sunday and didn't t drive my car. On Monday i barely could reach my job. There was a steam coming from my car again and that thermostat sign was on my dashboard again. I went to a car service, and they fixed everything for me. Thanks to that service i drive my car safely now. They told me that whoever was fixing my thermostat didn't t tighten up everything and it could blow up my engine and got me in big trouble. I paid $200 for nothing. He told me that he fixed my thermostat and i couldn't t drive my car even for one day. He didn't t fix my thermostat. So if you want to waste your time and money, and if your want to damage your car, you need to call this guy.
