Was charged $125 for diagnosis. Was told he would look at it the following week then calls me an hour later to tell me its got bad compression. ( 110/85)
I asked him what is causing that and he never checked. Doesn't own a camera to check cylinders, or diagnos any further. Today, a month later, I did a compression test and got 110/120. I texted him and let him know and his response was "are your gauges certified and calibrated?" As if that would make a difference when his differed by 25 and mine differed by 10. To further explain to the mechanic why he was wrong I went to O reillys and rented a compression tester and got 130/120. The same 10 psi difference. Don refuses to refund me and wants me to drive an hour to him in order for him to retest EVEN after both of my readings.
I don't recommend this guy at all. I would have kept my mouth shut but the fact he won't refund me for a incorrect diagnosis (if it was done at all) is horrible business. read more
