I took my car in for a water leak and oil leak. They said the pressure in the colloing sustem was fine and said the radiator cap needed replacing. No sign of oil leak but the car needed an alignment. 177.00 later I picked up the car and drove it around. It was still leaking water and occassional puffs of smoke were coming from under the hood. Took it back. They then said the water pump needed replacing. They replaced that and determined the high pressure hose on the power steering needed replacing. Add an additional 750.00 for that. Picked it up, drove it and there was still a clear fluid leaking. Took it back. They said it was just condensation from the AC. Told them I had not run the A/C and the car had been sitting for several hours. They looked at me like I was an idiot and insisted it was condensation from the A/C. I took it home and the next morning there was a puddle of clear fluid. I checked the power steraing fluid an it was empty. So it appears that the clear fluid leaking was power stearing fluid. Decided not to take it back to them. By now I could have put a nice down payment on another car. I don't think they took the time to really diagnosis the problems or even listen to me. They had the car for one week and I don't think they ever really looked at the fluid that was leaking. After I purchased a bottle of power steering fluid to fill the resivoir I knew exactly that that was what was leaking under the car. Never knew power stearing fluid was clear and watery looking. I will never use them again and would not recommend them.
Cons: Did not do a through job at diagnosisng the problem.
