Silverstar: wanted to replace vacuum pump with NEW. quoted verbally to my wife. When she came to pick it up price was increased by several hundred $ and they installed a rebuilt pump which alrealy leaked 2 months later.
A few days after picking up the car, car overheated and smoked. I opened the hood and found the large radiator hose completely disconnected, all coolant leaked out.


J & J would not give a written estimate, repaired things we did not ask and did not repair the transmission that we did ask for. Poor English, kept the car for 4 days. Did not ask for authorization then became rude when confronted. Very poor communicator. Car started dieseling for the first time upon leaving his shop.

Both of them were !@#$@#$ing around with the rough shifting transmission and had no clue.
Enrique in Tarzana immediately found that it was not conneceted to the vacuum system at all.

Did you find anyone good in the area.
