We took my son's car to get an oxygen sensor and an EGR valve replaced because the car failed emissions and the check engine light was on. When I picked up the car I noticed that there were two charges for $155 each to check these parts. My sons grandfather uses this mechanic and he is kind enough to pay for the repairs my boys have done there. I didn't ask about the charges at the time. I left with the car and got a quarter mile down the road when the light came back on. No big deal. I called my husband, who had just dropped me off to come back to get me at the shop. The owner was under the dash resetting the light and I decided to show the bill to my husband who asked, do you charge $155 to hook a car up to the computer? To which Donnie replied, ""you better read on buddy and you are not going to knock my work on my property!"" My husband handed the bill to me and said, ""here, you have it, I don't give a damn anyway"" and he left and told me to leave too. But the check engine light was still on. He wouldn't fix it. I followed him into the office and was trying to make a call to my sons grandfather to see what he wanted me to do about it since he was paying. I had to turn sideways to get in the door because a man who turned out to be his son wouldn't let me by. He then accused me of ""shoving"" him! He called me crazy, told me to ""shut my mouth,"" he said ,""you make me sick, thinking you are better than everyone else"" it was the most unbelievable experience I have ever had! They told me they were Christians and they didn't approve of cussing. I guess they heard my husband say ""damn."" He screamed at me several times ""your not paying the bill! So don't worry about it!"" I told them all I needed was the light reset so emissions could be done. I eventually left. My son had to take the car back to get the light reset. They didn't even put the cover back on. We had to look around in the car to find it. I was just curious about the charges and no one was knocking their work although they never get anything right with one trip and regardless of who was paying for the bill it was $900 and I almost went to jail because we asked!\r
If you go there, don't ask about your bill! Those ""Christians"" will talk to you like you are sub-human. They might even falsely accuse you of shoving them and you could go to jail. Wow! Nuts!
