Fooey on You-ie, Louie!

I`ll make a long story short. If you take your car here, and return because of problems that develop after they get ahold of your car, you may as well go pound sand. Louie is a hot tempered ""eastern european"" type that will shout you down if you dare question his work. I would rater spend a month in a Siberian Gulag rather than take my car back here!!

Disappointed again. I had Lou...

Disappointed again. I had Louie`s work on my vehicles numerous times over the past 7 years, but this was my last. Again, I took my truck in to have a back bearing replaced. Due to the age of the vehicle it cost me a little more which was OK.... but in the process, Louie again was pushing the hard "up-sell", "you need to replace the other back bearing, the back rotors are rusted and need to be replaced... view more and I can`t gaurentee what will happen when you`re on the road"... the old fear approach... By the sound of it, the other bearing is not that bad yet. I explained that I wanted to save and pay cash for the repair and he told me to post date a check and I can fix it today. OK... right a check for money I don`t have right now... uh "NO!". So I was blunt and told him to fix the bearing that I went in for. I picked up the truck and drove off. As I got onto Ogden the back assembly area he was working on was making this LOUD scraping noise like something was rubbing (on and off in a pattern). Louie got in my truck and went for a ride. IMMEDIATELY he told me it was my brakes and it was my rotor rubbing because it was warped and because of the new bearing being so much quieter I could hear it. I voiced my concern over his recommendation and the new noise and that I had a hard time believing his explanation. He insisted it was the brakes and told me "if you replace both back rotors and pads the problem would go away". I told Louie that`s a lot of money and I just can`t keep throwing money at this and that I like to save for expenses like this... He told me to post date a check for two weeks and he could fix my issues....... The loud noise that I heard started THAT DAY and I knew it wasn`t what he was telling me. He talked to me like I knew nothing and told me "I fix things here, I don`t break them". He told me to come back on Monday because he was closing. He got out of the truck and I drove off with this loud noise in the back of m y truck. I went home, raised the truck up with my 2.5 ton jack and pulled off the tire. IMMEDIATELY I could see the issue. My aluminum coating on the inside of my rim was peeled away and was rubbing against my brake cable. I tore off the aluminum coating sticking out on the inner rim. I then put the truck in nuetral while up on the jack and rotated the back rotor. Warped? I couldn`t see it. hhhmmm.. I put the tire back on and took the truck for a drive. The loud noise was gone. Boy... I saved myself at LEAST $400.00 in brakes and realized that when I get my hub & bearing replaced on the other side, I won`t be going back to Louie. Disrespect, the almighty dollar and not looking at the issue before telling me what was wrong is bad customer service. I recommend as a consumer to select a different auto repair shop in Oswego.

A guy you can trust.

These people are just like the old time mechanics I remember from my youth (50 years ago). No B.S., No mysterious ailments. Just straight, this is whats wrong, this is what I charge to fix it. and it`s done right the first time, on time for the price they told you. I will use Louie for anything automotive I need for as long as were both around. Bob Clabots
