My husband and I recently bought a car from Bob's Nice Cars on the Guide Meridian. The clutch needed to be replaced, so Bob said he would have his mechanics replace it before we bought it. The clutch job took about twice as long as he said it would, and the car made screeching noises after the clutch job, but he assured us that all was well, and we got a decent price on it, so we took it home. All was well, or so we thought.\r
We ended up taking the car to another mechanic to have him take a look at it, and it was as if we had opened Pandora's box. Here are a few of the issues we encountered:\r
-The engine block was cracked, so we ended up having to completely replace the engine\r
-The thermostat was MISSING\r
-There was break fluid in the coolant system\r
-Both front boots were torn (when the engine was removed for the clutch job) and needed to be replaced\r
-Multiple bolts were missing and had to be ordered and replaced\r

Bob was unsympathetic to our problems since we had already taken the car to another mechanic. You can understand WHY we did not want to take the car back to him to have it worked on. We spent several thousand dollars having these problems fixed.
