| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: There was a knocking and loss of power in the motor. i took it to quality care to have it fixed they told me it needs a new motor. i gave them the job. they installed a new [used] one which blew up in 2 days. i took it back and they put another one in. when i got it back the bolt holding the speedomter cabel was broke and was leaking fluid. at that time i didn't know the bolt was broke. they told me not to worry it just spilled fluid on the motor. it kept leaking so i had my husband look and he saw the broking bolt that holds the cable down all they had holding the clamp down was a tie down [garbage tie] thats why it wont stop leaking. when my husband pointed it out to them they said it broke when they took the motor out. he asked why did you lie to my wife? you broke it you should fix it. upon further inspection there were missing bolts; airconditon wasn't charged and bolts were missing on the splash shield but they did use the same ties they used on the speed cable. they did a substander job. used plastic ties instead of bolts. refuse to fix what they broke and if it is not fixed it could cause a bad accident.*ak |
