Purrfect Auto Service Ripoff overcharged me lied to me fed me a load of BULL Henderson Nevada

In May of 2003, my fiancee drove my car to Vegas for her bachelorette party. The engine died on the way. Since my fiancee's friend had a friend who owned this auto shop, they called him and took it to his shop.

I ended up getting charged over $4000.

I got a motor that they claimed was 'new' but was actually a rebuilt. Shame on me for not knowing that Toyota does not sell 'new' engines directly.

They even changed the odometer because they claimed that since I have now changed the engine, I can put in a new odometer. That alone cost me a few hundred.

I also get stuck with a nice shiny new radiator, for $400.

And, to top it all off, they claimed that I could sue the shop that worked on my car the week before, that I could claim they had done shoddy work. As proof, they loaded the old engine(400 pounds heavy) into my trunk. I drove around with it for two months before giving up on the whole mess.

I found out later that in Southern California, Watanabe, a well known engine repair/installation shop, would have charged me only $2000 for the whole thing.

These people are true and complete con artists.
