I REALLY wanted to give Peter and his business a very good review. He has worked on our car several…read moretimes in the last couple of years, and has usually been fairly quick to respond and completed the work satisfactorily. He has not ALWAYS come on the day he agreed to come, but I can say that about many island contractors and usually am pretty flexible. He has completed brake work, replaced a tire, put a "kill switch" on our battery for when we leave the island, replaced a battery, and an alternator. He has shown admirable skills on all of these repairs, and has charged a fair price (at least by Vineyard standards). This past month, however, he has ruined our "relationship." As an independent contractor, he has always asked for 1/2 up front and then 1/2 upon completion. I know, I know...perhaps that is my own fault for accepting those terms...but he has always completed the work and I felt OK with the situation. Recently I asked him to check out an "ABS" warning light on my car and replace another tire; after an initial assessment and quote, I paid him the requisite half. He has since disappeared--he does not answer his phone or respond to texts. It has been weeks since his last communication with me--and of course he still has my money--several hundred dollars. At this point, I feel that he has stolen my money and will never hear from him again. I know that I should not take it personally, but it does hurt to know that I have always been exceptionally quick to pay Peter and always kind to him when we talk. I have even asked if needed water/coffee, etc while working. Unfortunately, I need to let the world know--BEWARE OF THIS SCAMMER!

This most recent experience has led me to believe otherwise and I will absolutely not be taking my car back or recommending ever again. I had gotten new tires/brakes put on the car at different points over the winter. Right before the 4th of July, my engine start shaking and so my boyfriend brought the car in on Tuesday, June 24th. We had had off island plans for the holiday but didn't hear anything from the guys at the garage so we pivoted plans, not a huge deal. 2 weeks went by with one or two texts that said "we'll call with an update" however, no call was received. 3 weeks in, they called and said they couldn't duplicate the problem but found and issue with a wheel bearing- we asked that they not fix the wheel bearing but just see if they could diagnose the engine problem. When nothing was still done about the engine, my boyfriend went on YouTube and sent the mechanics videos on common fixes..... It is now July 31st, we picked up the car and have been charged $800 for..... wheel bearings, spark plugs, labor and parts. Half of which we had asked them not to fix, the other half that should have been an easy enough fix that didn't take a month and a half of absolutely no communication. I will happily pay what is fair but this is so wrong on so many levels I cannot fathom spending another dime here, nor should you. If I could give 0 stars I would.
