My car stalled after hitting a pot hole in late at night. The towing company happened to be a repair shop as well, and they stated they could tow the car to the shop and look at it in the morning. I viewed the car on the lift and it showed no signs of damage to the oil pan. They instructed me to call my insurance company, because they were unsure if the impact damaged anything major.
The insurance company (Allstate) sent an adjustor to inspect the vehicle. They denied the person on 4 visits to see the vehicle claiming they had to move too many cars to put it on the lift and it disrupted business. After over 1 month they finally allowed the adjuster to view the car and the adjuster noticed major damage to the oil pan, a huge hole in fact as well as other possible damage which would require an engineer to inspect. There was no hole in the oil pan when the car was left, and this was indeed done by the shop somehow.
After over 1 month, they finally allowed the engineer to perform a full inspection which in turn revealed that the car was struck with a blunt object and damaged the oil pan, and the engine block. They took photos which showed a hole over a foot wide, and what looked like other damage not previously there prior to bringing the car for the repair.
This crook had intentionally damaged my vehicle in order to try and get a large sum from the work it would involve for repair. This creep then denies knowing of any damage, he claims to know nothing. This person is obviously ripping off many more people than just me, and now I have to go through another claim and possibly take this person to court since the insurance wont pay for the excess damage not related to the accident and this creep denies responsiblity for anything. I am sure there are others who have gotten cheated by this crook.
I have gone months with no car, because of this shop. The man responsible is Anthony Alfaro, the owner. The shop is located at 354 Devoe St. in Brooklyn , NY 11211 . If anyone has any suggestions on how to bring this person to justice and how to properly go about getting some sort of reimbursement for this damage and hassles associated with it, please send your comments. Thanks for reading.

Just got my car back today from Alfaro Motors in Williamsburg Brooklyn on Devoe st.I must say I am very impressed with the work performed and how fast it was all done.I was involved in a hit and run recently and my roadside had someone come pick my car up,the driver recommended Alfaro and I spoke with Larry while the driver loaded my car..Larry made me feel very comfortable and assured me I would have my car back soon.Larry also saved me my deductable and helped me get a rental the same day..Unlike the original post I was very happy and would recommend them to anyone I know...

Alfaro Motors did it right

Dear Readers
I Recently woke up to a very interesting morning. It was July 5 and after some late night celebrating I noticed someone had DAMAGED my car im talking windshield smashed, hood dented as well as someother damage on the side of the car. We were talking serious stuff right in front of my HOUSE!. So I called the Cops then the insurance company they set me up with a tow now where to go Humm!!!. Well I had no clue so I figured send it over to the towing companies shop for repairs the driver stated they had a nice big shop and he seemed like a good guy (Waited over 20 minutes outside my house in the rain and it took him less than an hour to get there).
Then a couple of days later I go on the web to see these horrible posts on this company mind you I didnt know this place from a whole in the wall. So after reading the posts I decided to pay my car a little visit. I met with the owner of the shop personally *Mr Alfaro* who didnt deny but explained. I saw the shop and ended up leaving my car there for repairs. Well I wish I could tell you this story has a bad ending but my car looks great and it took less than a week for the repairs. I will post pictures on this board the before and after pictures and by the way I had a 2009 Hyundai Sonota.
