Just pressure test and light cleaning on 2 heads. I was charged 175 for taking parts off they said it took an hour and a half when nothing even had any hardware... But then I found Thomas Machine Corp and thought I'd try them out. Explained my situation and discussed on a full pressure blast, valve job, and replacing valve seats. And Eric did a phenomenal job and got me right! Absolutely pleased with the service and also very kind guys here and very helpful. Cost aware too, they know what they're doing and they're here to help and get people right by providing top notch service! Got my car back up and running asap and it runs like a dream now.

I was extremely dissatisfied with my 3 week project which turned into a 3 month project over…read moreCentral Import Authority. Here are the main issues I had: -There is now a large dent on my rear bumper that was not there before. Now I have to pay to replace the entire panel. Erik, the owner, does not want to assume responsibility because "his employees said they didn't do it". Yeah, seems believable. I know for a fact the truck was moved on an almost daily basis and parked on the street because Erik has so many cars backlogged, he doesn't have room on his lot for many customer cars. I wonder how a dent could happen which this brilliant system in place? -This entire process took nearly double the time estimated with Erik putting many walk-in appointments ahead of my vehicle. At least two weeks went by after all of the parts had arrived before work began. There are cars on his lot that have been there over six months with no work being completed. He said that he prioritizes vehicles based on how badly the customer needs the vehicle back instead of the usual "first in, first out" approach. Sure makes me feel special! -Several parts and labor time was added on the final invoice that I did not approve. I paid it, regrettably, because I wanted my vehicle back after having spent over triple the time waiting on it as originally promised. -The power mirrors do not fold in. I paid for the mirrors to be installed properly and they were not. -The headlights do not turn on and off automatically. I paid for proper installation of the headlights. -The grille does not line up with the hood. The panel gap is off by at least 3/4 of an inch. It looks terrible. I paid for the grille to be installed properly. -The stitching on the dash is damaged. It was not damaged before. -The front sensors were not installed in the front bumper. I expected this to be part of the install for the front bumper. Now the parking system does not function. I took the truck back to Central Import for an estimated five days so that these issues could be resolved. After TWO WEEKS had passed with several texts and calls ignored, Erik called me to inform me he was done working on my truck and to come pick it up. He was extremely rude and said he did not want to work on it anymore and hung up twice. He called me a liar and used several profanities. To my dismay. I discovered absolutely no work had been done in the two weeks at their shop. What a spectacular waste of time. I would not take a Hyundai Daewoo into this shop with 500,000 miles. It's disorganized, overpriced, and absolute chaos. Not to mention, unprofessional. I don't think anything has ever been finished on time in the history of this entire operation.

Absolute terrible experience…read more We turned our car in at a recommendation of a friend. The repair was supposed to be done in 30 days - it took ~3 months. I originally gave Chris the benefit of the doubt, was patient, and agreed that their timeline was probably off due to the condition of the car after the wreck. However; after reviewing numerous texts and emails (documented) he not only gave false promises and deadlines followed by empty excuses but he also falsely claimed that "I spoke with the insurance company and I reassure you that you will be reimbursed for out of pocket rental expenses." - No documentation/evidence provided and both insurance companies provided that was not their SOP. We are out of pocket several thousand dollars for their delay (incurred from rental expenses) and the fact they did not properly fix our AC unit which is resulting in more incurred expenses. Do not consider - look elsewhere.
