My mother is a Senior Citizen and a widow. She had me take her car to Firestone because the heater was not working and there was a puddle of oil/water under her car.
Firestone place called and said the head gasket was blown and probably a cracked head. They said they could not do a head gasket replacement but they could install a rebuilt engine. They quoted me $3,500.00+ labor.
I took the car to Antioch Auto and asked if they could replace a head gasket and inspect the head. I was quoted a very reasonable price. I sat in the waiting room for my wife to pick me up. While waiting the owner told me they had examined the car and the only thing they could find was a bad water pump.
Antioch Auto Center saved me over $3,000.00.
I will not be going to any Firestone store again. And I will be taking my autos to Antioch henceforthe.
