Complete Auto & Truck Repair: Towing And More! At A Price That's Fair!

Currently battling them and Mike right now...going on for almost 2 weeks... took the truck in for lifters, catalytic converter, muffler, head gaskets, and head issues...I bought my parts, gaskets, and fluids. While being repaired I got told that both heads and camshaft were good, now all of a sudden I needed 2 injectors, and the new lifters I purchased were bad..he had to supposedly switch some stuff from the other side to make it work. Now I need a camshaft because the valves weren't moving then mysteriously now the camshaft is good after I showed him a video of them moving before he installed anything so he gave me back 7 out of the 32 lifters (16 new/16 old) that look like the ones that were already in there...so after going back and forth again and waiting up there, Mike says everything is good to go it wasn't...I didn't even have it home for a couple of hours. It cut off 3 times, surging, hard starting, stalling, ticking, and now a cylinder 5 misfire (the head that was supposedly good but never touched). Never had this problem before they worked on it. I took the truck back, and now he's trying to blame it on my parts because they are aftermarket or saying it is something else like a fuel-related problem (injector, fuel pump) keep in mind that the driver-side head didn't get removed...upon observing the engine the driver's side head was never removed and my parts weren't installed but he said he did. The bolts were still rusted and the original. I bought new manifold bolts that were installed on the passenger side but not the drivers along with gaskets etc. So now the parts I purchased weren't installed and I do not have them and he's coming up with an excuse and now I have to find out what they did with them since they weren't installed...so for $2300 that's paid in full my truck is there still and now we are going back and forth. He charged me for fluids, diagnostics, mufflers, catalytic converter, and installation of lifters and gaskets for both sides and only did the passenger side. I should have followed my first mind, and went somewhere else..this shop can't be trusted and the bad reviews are real...Thursday makes 2 weeks and Mike supposedly had a family emergency and won't be back for a couple of days... I've emailed the Mayor of Westland, will contact the BBB and the State of Michigan, and will more than likely have to go to small claims court the way it's looking.
