Something not right?
Description
I didn’t want to make this a warning signal as that seemed dramatic but I did want to warn anyone else from going to this mechanic. Details below.
In a nutshell:
Roman overcharged us and claimed to to swap out a part which he did not actually swap out.
Full story:
Roman and his shop took my car in to fix a cylinder misfire I’d been dealing with. He did a diagnostic and concluded the cause was a faulty fuel injector that was missing a bearing and it would be 10,000mxp to fix it (overpriced). Out of desperation we agreed to his price. When we got the car back the issue continued after not even 10 minutes of driving. I tried to write with Roman and his tone seemed very dismissive and told me the issue was fixed and to keep driving and keep an eye on my fuel levels. Something about his tone didn’t sit right with me. A few hours into our journey home to LA my engine started skipping and the engine light started blinking on us. We found an honest local mechanic in Loreto who showed us that one of our fuel injectors had a missing bearing (pictured) but said that wasn’t the cause of the issue. The overall issue was my head gasket which was later fixed by another honest mechanic who charged me the same price that Roman charged us to *not* swap out ONE fuel injector. I tried to give Roman every benefit of the doubt. But I’ve now dealt with 8 different mechanics who have helped me resolve the issue and have a pretty good range of costs and ethics at this point. Long story short, Roman took full and complete advantage of us and didn’t even swap out the part he claimed to replace. Thanks Roman
