Had a problem no one could figure out on my corvette. Lou fixed it and it runs like new.

I was experiencing an intermittent problem with my 2008 Ford Escape where the ABS as well as brake light would come on the dashboard every now and again during startup. When this issue with occur I would then have very substandard and dangerous breaking but I was always able to correct it by shutting the car off waiting one minute and then restarting and the ABS lights would go off and my brakes would be normal until it would happen again usually days are Weeks Later and then I would just repeat the process. In addition to that my abs module under the hood was making a dreadful rumbling noise which was part of the problem. Wanting to resolve this I bought my car to Lou. He explained to me that I need a whole new ABS module which cost about $3,500 not including labor. Feeling that it wasn't worth it I decided to just keep resetting it when possible and if it fails completely one day I'll just look for another car. Fast forward to many months later I bought the vehicle in as Lou replaced my front rotors , calipers, pads and two leaking brake hoses. The bill was over $1,000 and Lou informed me that my brake pedal now is going to the floor and the lights are back on the dashboard and claimed it had nothing to do with his work and blamed it on the previous ABS issue mentioned at the beginning of this review. Thinking I'll just reset it business as usual I paid the bill and to my dismay realized that the ABS module was completely dead and all my methods of resetting it previously had now failed. After paying the bill and now thinking I have to pay a lot more to change this module I went to Smithtown Ford for a second opinion. The technician asked me if I had any brake work done recently and I explained the work that Lou did. They told me his work would have solved the problem and I did not need the ABS module the only problem is Lou did not finish the job. Confused, I asked them to clarify and the technician explained to me that when work is done on breaks the final step is to reprogram the ABS module which is what they did and my brakes have been wonderful going on a month now and the module does not even make that Dreadful rumbling noise anymore that was all that needed to be done as far as the ABS braking system is concerned. In addition to that out of curiosity I went into the parts department to price a new ABS module for that vehicle . The parts person went under the hood and took the part number right off the unit and gave me a dealer price of $1,000 which is approximately 2,500 less than Lou quoted me. Not only did Lou give me a false diagnosis, but I also believe he was price gouging on the part and I suspect that possibly he was going to bring it to Ford to have the work done if I decided to do it and he would be the middleman but that particular detail I can't confirm it's just a suspicion I can't think of any other reason why you would misdiagnose and gouge on the price. Needless to say I'll be looking for a new mechanic as I was terribly disappointed he seemed like a trustworthy guy read more
