it is really sad that someone I know, so when I've known for 20+ years did not heat the morning I strongly made to avoid Crawfords auto repair. So many people I know has dealt with John over the years and had good experiences only to be followed up with horrific experiences almost making Wanda feel like they were being set up for a trap.
this friend of mine went in a week ago to have their heater repaired, already overcharged it $1000 but he was so ecstatic at having his heater working in this cold weather he was praising John and Crawford's Auto Garage for him now having good heat in this cold weather. He actually said now I can go anywhere. The poor fool. In a week the car was broke down from being overheated, ironically, and he was forced to leave it at work and get a ride home. The next day having Crawfords tow it back to the shop.. In a week the car was broke down from being overheated, ironically, and he was forced to leave it at work and get a ride home.

it doesn't take a rocket scientist to realize that if Crawfords is fixing his car to improve the heating situation to which there was none, to the degree it would cost $1000 so it was not some minor repair, that it had to involve something more than just replacing a nut or bolt... Or even a single part of significance.... Or even a single part of significance.So he assumed again not listening to my head of warning that John would recognize the problem only existed only a few days AFTER he left Crawfords for a very related repair. literally having only put on minimal miles from one visit to Crawfords to the others .
so my friend called me in tears because not only did he put out the thousand dollars to get his car repaired the first time but now he was told it was gonna be $3500 for a head gasket that would have been noted when John and his crew were doing their work the week before. So obviously something was missed, although i seriously doubt this rather his folks did something wrong that made a simple problem now a gigantic one.
I invite anyone who's had a similar situation to post here and on Google review their experience and the result of that. I am also going to find other people in my friend group and my family and ask them to do likewise. Crawfords has been in business for almost 3 decades and this is been going on for too long. I know far too many people whove had way too similar situations. read more
