I took my 1997 Saturn to this guy for a muffler and cat. The price was right and the car purred like a kitten when I left. So about 4 months latter I went back for a noise I could not detect coming from my engine compartment. He did good work so I thought I would go back. The owner said it was a bearing in my transmission. (5 speed manual trans) He quoted me 400.00 dollar to rebuild transmission. I said I will think about it. I took my car to a friend and he said the growling sound was coming from my alternator. Sure enough when you revved it up and put your hand on alternator you could feel it. Like an idiot I went back for a brake job. Kept me there all f--- day. When I got home the brakes had not been touched. What a d--- licker. I could have did the brake job myself, but thought I would let him do it since I had more money than sense. He is a f------ rip off. Hey dude if you read this be a man and ask me, not a little WHIMPY.
