About 9 months ago I took my car into Yeck's Auto ...

About 9 months ago I took my car into Yeck's Auto repair because it was running sluggish and I was worried about driving it. They promptly called me back and said it was a blown head gasket and it would cost me 1,900 dollars to have it fixed. Well, of corse I was freaked out because it was a repair I was not prepared for. Mark offered to buy the vehicle from me if I didn't think it was worth fixing and also advised that I don't drive it. I took the car to my parents house and parked it in their garage and borrowed my fathers truck until I could figure out what to do. In the mean time I called around to a few places to get estimates. I found a place that would fix the "Blown Head Gasket" for 1,200 dollars. So for 6 months I saved up the money to get it fixed meanwhile, stressing over how to get the money and also having my fathers truck for so long. Finally, I got the money together took it in to Auto Medics to have the repairs done and got a call that same day. "Who told you it was a Blown Head Gasket?" Turns out it was an oil leak! A quick and inexpensive fix. It just badly needed a tune up. $225 dollars and two days!! Now, I realize that things worked out for the best for me but I am still angry and upset that 8 month went by because of a miss diagnosis from Yeck's and the fact that they offered to buy the car from me makes me very suspicious. Always get a second opinion!! And unfortunately I would not recommend Yeck's. Qualified mechanics are worth the price. So much waisted time and stress that didn't have to be.
