Brake repair service near Ravenel, SC

BEWARE” if you get stuck on the highway and the South Carolina state police come to your aid to get you off the highway make sure they don’t call this garage for tow services. You will be stuck for days possibly weeks and they don’t know what they’re doing when it comes to repairing automobiles you will be abandoned and broke when they get done with you.Just look at their facilities they have more than one under different names they all look the same abandoned cars all apart scattered tru out the properties and they don’t buy new parts they use only used parts and have no clue on repairing automobiles they are just parts changers.And their is no hourly repair rates posted in any of their locations and they don’t believe in giving a customer a estimate on repairs before the work is authorized.Contacting South Carolina Motor Vehicle department filing a complaint.

Highly recommend carnes towing i went to numerous big companies hill tire firestone etc trying to find out why i was loosing control of my steering wheel i got several reasons alignment bad motor mounts etc estimates from $200 to $2500 nobody could get it right until i brought into carnes towing they actually took time to get in drive it thoroughly inspect it and found the ball joint was just hanging fixing to go any second i was highly irritated that the big companies didnt ketch it and risked not only me but my children in an accident for something they most definitely should have seen! Not only did Carnes find the issue but fixed it at not even a fraction of the cost and very fast an hour in a half my car drove like new again i went through a year of getting the run around until i found this business i highly recommend them and cant say thanks enough!

I spoke with Ricks Auto about giving my car a valve job, setting the timing and welding the collectors from my headers to my exhaust on my restored 1968 Ford Mustang. Rick discovered that there were a couple of lifters that had came apart and needed to be replaced and I agreed I wanted them to fully inspect and make sure everything was good. So I ordered everything. After the repair and inspection he reassured me that everything was fine and there was no damage. Then on 14Jun10 I called Ricks Auto to find out what was going on and he said that the motor was to tight, so I went up there to find out what was going on and we determined that the motor was seizing up. He called me on 15Jun10 and said that the oil pump drive shaft had came out and they had been running the motor with no oil pumping to it. I had discussed with Ricks Auto that this was no fault of mine and that his shop had forgot to check it when they put the distributor in, Ricks Auto did not except the fault and put the blame on me. So I decided to swallow the money and just get it fixed he quoted me $1,700.00 to fix everything. On 21Jun10 I received a call from Ricks Auto and they told me that the crank and block were fine it just needed to be honed. Ricks Auto told me what size of bearings and pistons to order. So I ordered everything (total= $ 403.36). Then on 23Jun10 Ricks Auto told me I needed to pay the Machine shop bill $ 220.00. On 24Jun10 Ricks Auto said that the Crank would not spin freely in the engine so they was going to take it back to the machine shop. On 25Jun10 I called the machine shop to find out what was going on, they asked me what Ricks Auto was doing for me and I told them the whole story and they said that they told Ricks Auto that the block did not pass standards and the only way to properly fix it was to bore it and grind the crank. Ricks Auto's response was it's fine they were just going to put it together. the machine shop told me that they had never even received a crank to
