I called Butch to diagnose and repair my classic 87 Buick Grand National with an HVAC system that…read morehadn't worked since I purchased the car in 2018. Butch handled the diagnosis with precision and expertise, taking the time to thoroughly inspect the system instead of just guessing at the issue. Butch explained the problems in clear, simple terms, from worn components to tricky wiring that comes with age. What impressed me most was his respect for the originality of my vintage GM car. The A/C now runs ice-cold and the airflow feels just like it did when the car was new. It's rare to find technicians who understand the unique challenges of vintage GM HVAC systems, but Butch absolutely delivered. Honest, knowledgeable, and passionate about their craft--if you own a classic GM, this is the man to trust

Well, I was having engine overheating problems so I scheduled an appointment with Dunedin Total Car…read moreCare to get it checked. Their internet reviews were satisfactory so I felt comfortable with the appointment I had made. I arrived promptly at the scheduled time of 10 AM. They then performed a pressure and block test for $82.38 which revealed a cracked thermostat water outlet where the coolant was leaking from. The repair was quoted for over $600.00 which I declined to have done when compared to a more average repair price between $300.00 to $500.00 dollars. Now I am waiting in their guest lobby and the clock kept on ticking well beyond a reasonable time for them to get my car back. So, this is where my nightmare begins. I then walked around the back of the shop and I noticed that the "mechanic" could not get the car started. This went on for sometime before they told me that the ignition key was worn out. Well, I could not believe what I was hearing. I had driven my car from Clearwater to Dunedin and then the mechanic drove the car from their parking lot into their shop without any ignition issues. At that point they asked me if I had a spare ignition key which I said it was at home. So, they drove me to my home in Clearwater to get the spare ignition key. I found two spare keys at my home witch I took back to their shop. These keys were practically brand new but when they tried to start the car, neither one worked either. So, the problem was not the keys as they had claimed but the ignition switch. Wow, I now needed a new ignition switch, which the repair totaled $468.86 When I pointed out that I had driven my car to Dunedin and the mechanic had drove my car into their shop without any key or ignition switch problems, they said that the pressure and block test had nothing to do with it. And yet, I can't help it but presume that the mechanic twisted and forced the key into the ignition key and thus breaking the ignition switch. So, there I was stranded at their mercy without a working car. I wound up maxing out one of my credit cards to cover this unnecessary repair, read 'em and weeps! They went ahead and ordered a new ignition switch but as luck would have it, the owner himself ordered the wrong part. The wait for another new part was just unbearable so I decided to walk to a near by pizza place for a bite to eat. When I got back, I noticed they had put a real mechanic to install the new ignition switch. So I wonder if the other mechanic was even certified! The switch installation took about two hours since almost half of the driver's dashboard had to be disassembled to get to the ignition switch. And since the new ignition switch came with new keys, the old keys were useless. By now, after almost six hours, I had just resigned myself to get it over with without any further aggravation. However, when I finally got my car back I noticed that the driver's side floor mat was heavily soiled with black grease. You would think they could have at least used one of those disposable paper mats to protect the floor mat, right? Replacement for this mat runs between $75 and $85 dollars...should I sue? So, I had gone in for one thing and walked out with a repair for something entirely different!

Let me also add, I am a woman and I do think this plays into why my experience was so harmful. My car overheated and I had it towed to this garage. The staff I always work with says they will have a look and get back to me. They call a few hours later telling me that my engine has knocking and it's totaled. It will cost $10,000 to repair and my car isn't even worth that amount and immediately asks me if I want to scrap my car, where's my title? Is it a paper or digital? There was no discussion about fixing it or anything else about what happened to it. Mind you, 3 months earlier i had spent around $2500 with this garage on fixing things on my car. Now this?! I'm devastated. I had just taken a loan out on this car and the bank officially owned it so I call my bank and let them know the situation. The banks car repo guy calls me back and asks, how well do I know this garage? I thought well. He tells me to take it somewhere else and get a 2nd opinion. Thank god for the bank repo guy because now my car is fixed and I didn't have to buy a new engine. I feel like I was being pressured to let go of my car so they could scrap it for parts. This is incredibly unethical and shocking to have had what I thought was a great relationship for so many years. I am not an expert in cars and rely on their expertise and feel very taken advantage of and fear for other people and probably more women may have fallen victim to this scam.
