Do not take your vehicle here unless you want it to come back broken. We took in our truck to have the timing chain replaced and a new oil pump put in. The cost ended up being $2,820. Which is much higher than the original $1,950 quote. The mechanic that worked on it blew a head gasket and tore apart things that didn't need taken apart. That is in their words, not mine. They replaced the head gasket and finished the timing chain. It came back to us leaking oil. They said it was a valve that wasn't fully seated so they fixed it. They had it for 6 weeks total. On the ride home from picking it up, it had a transmission malfunction. This vehicle never had a transmission problem previous to Abbot letting an inexperienced mechanic work on it. In fact, the transmission had just been inspected and flushed 6 month prior. Abbot tried to claim that having the transmission flushed probably ruined it- which is ridiculous. Abbot is responsible for the damages to our truck. A truck that has been sitting like a rock in our driveway ever since they "fixed" it. I filed a complaint with the BBB, which Abbot failed to respond to. The next step is going to be a civil case where I, and all of the other customers Abbot has wronged, recoup our losses. Abbot is not only a shady mechanic who let someone work on our vehicles that didn't know what he was doing, but I also believe he has been evading taxes for some time by telling people they can pay in cash to avoid paying the taxes. I post this very lengthy account of our experience in the hopes that he never has the ability to screw someone over again. It is my sincere hope that his business goes bankrupt and he never works on another vehicle in...
