Auto Repairs Mazda

On sept 21, 2006 i drove my 1995 mazda millenia "the car" into duval mazda of gainesville for service. The car was running fine. The service was preventive maintenance & to check the cause of a "check engine light". The 1995 mazda has a proprietary computer system that can not be checked by any one besides the dealer. Again the car was running fine. The car and was not smoking after the initial 10 seconds at startup. I was advised that the valve covers and engine seals were leaking oil onto the top of the engine & they... read full review »

Pep Boys Auto

To make a long long story short as possible. I had an issue with my brakes so I had my car "diagnosed" at PEPBOYS (took over a week) whom originally quoted me a ridiculous amount of work totaling to over $700.00 PEPBOYS told me I needed back struts, new front brakes, pads, roders a master cylinder and a tie rod etc... I asked what was absolutely necessary and PEPOYS told me the front brakes, pads, roders, tire rod and master cylinder. Like a fool I had all that work done. As soon as I picked up my car and drove pff the lot I found... read full review »

Dodge Caravan
October 21, 2006
Our beautiful 2001 Dodge Grand Caravan suffered a complete air conditioning system failure at 60,000 miles, then a transmission failure at 64,000 miles. I spent the $2700.00 to repair both, then drove it straight to the Toyota dealer to trade it on a Sienna. I have owned Mopars since the late '60's, and have always considered them cutting edge in design and performance, but the quality (sorry, Dr. Z) simply isn't there any longer. I cannot conceive of a situation in which I would purchase another Chrysler product, which i... read full review »

Petro Canada
October 20, 2006
This is not really a complaint about any one person, but I really hate the gas prices. I know for a fact that the Big 4 Oil Companies in Canada are making huge profits regardless of the market price per barrel. Their profits stil increase every year, the reason is because we're all so dependant on it. Our pockets get more empty, but theirs get more full with $$$ I drive 2 hours a day, and the amount of money I spend in gas is more than I spend on food, water and hydro. Maybe with enough hassle, we'll finally get our break! It's worth a try. read full review »

We bought a used 2001 Chevrolet Suburban at Bankston that their written documents said was a "certified car" and, therefore, was not being bought "as-is," and further, we bought a warranty for about another $1,200. The Texas Safety Inspection sticker showed that Bankston had done the inspection three months before and that it had been drive less than 200 miles before title was transferred to us. We were to learn that the vehicle was out of oil, had one front parking light bulb burned out, the emergency brake did not... read full review »

Budget Car Rental
October 18, 2006
This posting is to warn vehicle renters in Germany to be very thorough in inspecting their vehicle, because Budget will hold you liable for every thing if it was not fully documented as preexisting damage. We learned this the hard way with a Budget car rental at Stuttgart airport in May 2006. We are 100% positive the scrape around our rental car's right rear wheel well was preexisting, because we noticed it after less than 20 minutes of driving without bumping or brushing into anything. We believe Budget placed us at a significant... read full review »

GM Fuel Price Protection Program
October 18, 2006
I purchased a 2006 Chevy Impala because it came with the General Motors Fuel Price Protection Program which guarantees that I only pay $1.99 per gallon for gas for the next 12 months no matter how far I drive. GM funds this program through the use of a Debit Master Card. They read your milage each month based on Onstar and depending on when they read it, they are supposed to post money to your card on either the 15th or 30th of each month. This is the second month in a row that GM has not funded the card in a timely manner. Their customer... read full review »

Indane Gas Agency
October 17, 2006
Today I went to Indane Gas Agency for gas booking. But I was shocked to see that they were forcing consumers to buy a gas pipe which costs 170/-. I was not agreed to buy this pipe because I renewed my gas pipe only few weeks back. I have been very aware of these things such as gas cylinder and its accessories. Now agency officials are not ready to book my gas even in this festive season, when a person needs it most. When I tried to contact to the Sales Officer Mr. Swarn Singh, he doesn’t pick my phone. Even on land line number. Thanks and Regards, Vinay. read full review »

Earlier this year I returned a Jeraco truck cap to my local dealer, Just For Trucks of Malta, New York located near Sara toga Springs.

The dealer, Just For Trucks, gave me written assurance that the cap was being accepted for return to the factory for a "full refund."

I Purchased a used Isuzu Rodeo from this dealer only to have it fail FOUR DAYS later. The radiator was cracked - you could then see that it had been sealed previously.

My husband brought our 2000 Maxima (85,000 mi) to Haldeman for a tune up prior to vacation. He asked them to check the automatic transmission because it sometimes banged into gear when shifting.
