Nice but no good
Took my 04 Saturn in for a minor coolant leak. I mentioned that I had done some research and found that the oil cooler is a common source. The called and said they had performed a preaqsure test and it was the water pump. $465. to repair ok fix it. Then Mike mentions that the timing belt will be exposed and while mine was in good shape it would be a good time to fix it, $367.00. Ok take care of it. I get my car back and I find that I am adding coolant every two weeks again. I take it back and they call me that my left head gasket is leaking. throw in a valve job and I am looking at $2200 to fix the same problem. I oked the repair but changed my mind. Why would I reward them "testing/guessing" wrong the first time. I picked up the car Drove it a few blocks west to Johnny's, they have certified mechanics. Turns out it was the oil cooler leaking. So paid $800. for a reapir that did not happen and almost paid $2200. for a repair that would not have fixed the problem. They are very nice but I paid for a car repair not to be greated pleasantly for $800.
