Told me BLOWN MOTOR!!! / really just a fuel pump and spark plugs LOL? - ? - Today
These guys told be had a blown head gasket/cracked head and would need a new engine. NOT TRUE. Ends up just a fuel pump when I quickly had it towed off from their garage to a place off Bayless. Hemann came up with this diagnosis of a blown motor after charging me $90 for a compression check stating that my ""rear 2 cylinders had low pressure"" and that meant the engine was blown. Well the car was NOT overheating, no smoke, and coolant/oil were not contaminated so I didnt quite buy that one. Good thing I have some car knowledge and had been tinkering on the car the weeks previous so I knew my 92 BMW 325i with 200k was not exhibiting any of these symptoms. Elsewise I would have been SCAMMED out of about $2,000. WATCH OUT THESE GUYS ARE SCAMMERS (or at least to lazy to due a thourough diagnostic, simple fuel pressure test revealed the issue) DONT GO HERE UNLESS YOU WOULD RATHER REPLACE A MOTOR THEN DO A CHEAP REPAIR. oh yea when the car was at the other shop actually be fixed a compression test was done and everything checked out. So they either didnt do the test at Hemann or just dont have the automotive know-how to administer it correctly. HOPE THIS SAVES YOU TIME AND MONEY!!!
To check out the Documentation to prove this you can go to Photobucket and search ""hemann""
Pros: only took 3 days for the mis-diagnosis
Cons: Bad diagnosis. Sent me out to find my own replacement parts
