My daughter is living in Chicago now for 3 years. She has a PT Cruiser and we have struggled to find a good, trust worthy mechanic to make repairs when needed. The problems we have had with it have been mostly minimal, but you would think it was a $250,000.00 car for what we have been charged for minimal repairs that I know would be 1/3 the cost here where we live in Central illinois. She recently called and said it was overheating and loosing antifreeze really bad. We took it to a well advertised garage, (Will refer to as PB) and they immediately said it was a Water Pump and Timing belt repair, Approx $1500.00 repair. In looking on the internet and determining that this is a common problem with a comparable price, we decided not to do the repair because we could not really afford this. I called Lincoln Auto to have the car towed back to her house and we would decide later on what to do with the car. Lincoln suggested that we have them check it out before we give up on the car. I agreed and with in a couple hrs they called back and told me it was a Thermostat housing gasket and Radiator leak, not the Water pump & timing belt. In results they did the repair for MUCH less and the car is doing fine so far. I will say that they saved me the $1500.00 on the repair and if the
If I would have had P B do the work I am sure that we would have the $1500.00 repair plus What Lincoln found on the Radiator etc.
I do appreciate the Honesty and Response of the Lincoln Auto. I would recommend that you give them a chance if you have a Auto repair need!
