Issue: Car was running bad, almost stalling. On the Aug 2015 repair, the mechanic forgot to also change the spark plug wires set when they replaced the spark plugs and ignition coil. Replaced the spark plug wires set - was just charged for the parts not the labor. Issue: Car almost overheated while driving in traffic. Mechanic test drove the car and also let it run while in the shop for hours and it did not run warm for them at all. The cooling fans were working and the coolant was full. |
