My car broke down on 294 north and when I called triple A the closest shop was Community Car Care so I saw no problem leaving it there overnight. I called the next morning and then after a diagnostics they said I had blown the fuel pump(exact words were it burnt out) and there was an issue with the spark plugs...total cost? 1223 dollars and some change.
I decided to have the car towed to a local place in worth called brake-tec that my parents have used for years. For some reason I had to wait two hours as they had to put my car back together(why for a diagnostics?) When the car got there they flushed the fluids and put some fresh gas in and it started up...which I didnt realize was such a big deal til I found out that if half of what CCC had said was true...then this car wouldnt run without a very costly part replacement as a car wont start without a fuel pump.
Now I have to go back and try to get the 130 bucks I spent on a diagnostics that told me nothing but lies as brake-tec kept it overnight and checked everything just to make sure but the car is running perfectly fine...the problem? gas gauge is off a bit, and for running out of gas I was almost put out nearly 1300 bucks...DOWN WITH COMMUNITY CAR CARE
