Took my car to capital tech for a leaking water pump. James did this work on his own time which…read moreinvolved changing the water pump as well as the timing chains and tensioners. About 2 weeks later the car developed an oil leak from the area of the crankshaft seal and or the timing cover as well as the front valve cover gasket, all of which he had to change. I paid James 900 dollars cash and I supplied the parts needed to do the job. Now after 2 weeks of text messages and 2 or 3 phone calls to my place of employment, James said he has not forgot about me. I have now taken the vehicle to another mechanic for the repairs. This review is not about Capital Tech itself but the mechanic. I am expecting these repairs to cost another 300 to 500 dollars on top of the almost 1600 parts and labor already spent.

I do recommend going there and making an appointment. I made the appointment last week to bring my car in with a laundry list of repairs.

He checked my jeep and spent time diagnosing. He filled the jeep up with coolant, then gave me an extra jug for the ride. The best part besides his care and attentiveness, he refused to take any money, not a dime! He just wanted me to get home safe to nyc. If you want an honest, caring mechanic Ali is your man. Very unexpected to have this kind of experience, not only was my Jeep fixed but so was my outlook on humanity.
