Stay away from this place!!! On December 11th 2012 I took both of my vehicles to PatRicks Auto and Truck Repair in Ocala, Florida. The one vehicle is a 1998 Toyota T-100 truck that needed to get the oil and t filter change. The total charge for that was $50.51 The other vehicle is a 2001 Mitsubishi Montero that the A/C was not blowing cold. I have purchased the freon bottle at the local Auto Parts and it only worked for a few days since it was licking from a unknown place. I received a call from the service writer at PatRicks in Ocala,Fl telling me that the repair amount was going to be $600. Since the service writer at the place is someone that I know and trust I told him to go ahead and get the A/C repair. Today the same service writer at PatRicks in Ocala, Florida call me back to tell me that ?it was going to cost me $300 more to fix the A/C?.I told him that I could not spend more money on the vehicle since it was a used car that I have purchased for $1000 to export to another Country. I pick up both vehicles and paid for the work that it was done . The Mitsubishi still not blowing cold air. The total amount for both vehicles was $45.15 in parts for the oil change and $2.50 for labor. Here is where it gets good. The price to not fix the A/C was $111.37 in parts and $418.36 for the labor. Here is where it gets even better!! I took the Mitsubishi to another repair place down the road and I was told that all the vehicle needed was the rubber seals on the A/C unit for a total of $37.58 I hope that PatRicks is proud of the way they treat their customers. I am going to make sure that I Blog, SEO and Social Media to everyone in Marion County, FL and the entire State of Florida. The next thing I will do is to file a complaint with the Marion County BBB. My advice STAY AWAY FROM THIS PLACE or get a second opinion before taking your vehicle to PatRicks. Please make sure to copy and paste this review and forward to everyone you know in Ocala,Marion County and the State of Florida.
