Sideline Automotive David Mills 817-881-0928 New transmission installed and failed 6 months later/shoddy work Fort Worth, Texas

David Mills installed a brand new transmission in our Ford Expedition just weeks in November 2013 before we purchased it from our good friends and neighbors. Less than a thousand miles and ten outings later in May 2014, the vehicle started spurting out transmission fluid everywhere. We managed to get home safely from where we were when it happened. Our friend and neighbor contacted David to see if he could come get it repaired at the end of May. He was out of town and said he would be there the following week to look at it and mentioned the warranty was not valid on the transmission itself but would honor his work on the vehicle. He never showed up and this occured on 3 occasions. To this day, over 5 weeks later, we aren't even sure he showed up to look at it. On top of it all, he responded to a request for info saying that he will now not be fixing it at all and even after supposedly agreeing to come out and honor his work decided that his work is only valid for 60 days.

Lesson learned, don't buy a car from your neighbor and unless you want a half-assed job done, do not hire this mechanic. He will lead you on for weeks before bailing on you and if he does show up he will do a crappy job. It's sad when mechanical work of that nature is only gaurenteed to work for 60 days...
