Affordable Auto Repair Crooked Mechanic/Owner Gaylord, Michigan

This guy will rip you off if you are a female or look like a vulnerable person who doesnt know anything about automotive repairs. We took our car to him because it did not have heat and it was overheating. He said we needed to replace the timing chain and water pump. We agreed being that Honda recommends this every 70 thousand miles. We also had a Honda Factory thermostat that we had him put in. We get the car back 3 days later the car is doing the same thing overheating and no heat. We take the car back to him he says that the thermostat we gave him was defective. He says it will be $100 to change the thermostat. I say bullshit, we paid you $650 to fix the car, its not fixed. He argues and says the part is defective causing the issue. I told him well then this was the issue the entire time then the water pump and the timing belt didnt change a thing. He agree says, maybe, but the car needed this work done. Ok but it wasnt the issue that we needed fixed we brought the car to you to fix the overheating and the heat not working. This guy offered other work to my girlfriend, but the way he explained it was it was going to fix the problem we brought the car to him for. So he took advantage. He was only going to have to replace the Thermostat $100 job. He saw an opportunity to make more money being it was a female, so he says you need this done too. In the end the guy added things to the job that had nothing to do with the issue at hand. He is a crook. I also know a guy that worked for this guy, he explained the same thing. He adds work and charges people for it when it may not be needed immediately. Very conniving person Beware.
 
In the end I replaced the thermostat. Didnt change a thing, day later issue is back. F..ing crook. Looks to be a head gasket according to Honda, so this guys misdiagnosed the car 2 times. If we wouldnt of called him out he would have charged us to fix the head gasket as well. See you in court A-hole.
