When I said the transmission was obviously still in the truck there was an added $1200 removal and installation fee. Including $800 for a billet torque converter. That was fine. I found the shop two hours away from where I live in Orlando because I was in a hurry to get my truck which I use for work daily. All the shops are around my area had a 2 to 3 week turnaround time. I explained the urgency, and I wanted to make sure the truck would be done quickly and correctly. I dropped it off April 23. April 23 - truck towed to shop. April 28 - tells me truck will be ready the next day, it isn't. Sep 2 - truck was ready 11 days later. Picked up RAM. Drove it 4 miles down the road transmission overheated. Check transmission fluid. It was not reading on the dipstick called both Brian and Sarkis after stopping at the auto parts store and filling over 6 1/2 quarts of transmission fluid before it registered on the dipstick. Leave truck to make sure transmission didn't cook itself when it over heated to 275° September 11 - I was told the transmission was fixed. picked up RAM. Made a few miles down I-75 before the same TCC code popped up that I sent the truck in for. Oct 23 - Drove the truck back off after it sitting at home while I was out of town work renting a vehicle this entire time. Nov 10 - Brian said the truck was ready so I picked it up at night. Drove it to exit 220 on I-75 and the TCC stopped locking up. This is the exact same issue I dropped it off with. I have now spent over $4k to have a rental car the entire time the truck wasn't able to be driven or while at Burks. I've paid 3 months of commercial insurance on my truck at $562 a month for a total of $1686 and not driven it. Paying for an Uber from Orlando to Sarasota. I've lost contracts due to not being able to haul equipment needed for jobs. There is absolutely nothing they are willing to do to fix this. Ive never dealt with adult as unprofessional and disrespectful as Sarkis. Brian has tried to do what he can in his power I guess but I'm still left out of almost 10k in this whole ordeal and still have the truck exactly the same way as when I took it to them. The pictures are of the ad, the issue when I picked it up September 2 of the transmission overheating. And the communication between Sarkus and myself, and how he responded to me being frustrated which I had all right to be. Save yourself the aggravation and save yourself the money do not use this shop if Sarkis is involved. He made sure to ask me to Zelle him payment, so I have no recourse at getting my money back. I did have them also work on my jeep and they left the four bolts to the shifter, completely loose and it leaked transmission fluid when I picked it up from them because I had taken both my vehicles to them.

I was charged $100 anyway --- with no solution nor clue what was wrong. The car cooled enough for me to drive it to Burk's the following day. Mystery air conditioner issue was solved and repaired. Also got my rear brakes replaced (overdue but because of hurricanes I had not taken care of it.) Burks's completed both jobs in one day at a fair price. Also saved me money by offering to let me return the next day to pay by check rather than absorbing an added credit card percentage. Friendly, punctual & clean. Thanks for great service! I will be back!

Months later when I had the time and money I called back Sarasota Ford only to find out that they were backed up on transmission work and couldn't get me in for well over a month. I then called AAMACO who worked on my previous vehicle. They test drove it and did a diagnostics on it and found out that nothing was wrong. AAMACO could have easily ripped me off for thousands of dollars (which I was ready to pay) to install a new transmission but they didn't, nor did they charge me anything for the diagnostics or test drive. I have the upmost respect for Ian and AAMACO and would recommend them to everyone.

I used my diagnostic tester to try to determine what the problem was. The tester indicated that there was a misfire in one of the cylinders. I finally reached Cruz Auto Repair in the late afternoon. Corey replied back that he could come to the house between 6 & 8 that evening (Sunday). Corey came at about 6:45 and immediately began to diagnose the issue and found that the cylinder had a bad spark plug. We talked about a price and I decided to have Corey change all the plugs. which he did. running a test again, he found that one of the coils was also bad. Since it was late at night, after 8 PM and the auto parts store was closed, we discussed a price and agreed that Corey would come back the next morning with a new replacement coil. Corey came back the next morning and replaced the coil and now the car is working just fine. From the start, Corey showed knowledge of auto repairs, did exactly what he said he would do for the price that he quoted each time. I would highly recommend Cruz Auto Repair for all repairs. Thank you Corey.
