This thread is for people that have had a bad or unfair dealing with a local shop. This is being created for the reason so no one has to go to a shop where others have been ripped off. I would prefer that no one posts unless they have personally been to a shop that has given them a bad experience. The only exceptions to this are a highly detailed story of what happened and why others should be weary of that shop.

Short Description of Services: Automotive Repair


What your bad experience was: My 2002 Ford Taurus decided not to start one morning in Radford, not knowing of too many places in Radford to take my car this shop seemed reasonable and had a nice looking garage. They got my car and started working on it and said I needed a neutral switch to get the car running again so of course I said yes. They installed it and no change the car wouldn't start up. They next said that the chip in my key was bad and that the car wouldn't start because of that. This also requires the ECU to be reprogrammed for the the new chip. This was performed at the Duncan Ford dealership in Blacksburg. Dan's Garage then called me the next day saying that Duncan Ford said my ECU had gone bad. Unfortunately I decided to say yes believing that this would fix my car. The car came back to them saying it wasn't running right and that it needed an O2 sensor and coolant temperature sensor. After this was performed they called and said that the car was ready to drive back to Roanoke. I went to go pick it up, and the car had these problems. The vehicle wouldn't idle correctly, it had no brakes, and the temperature gauge no longer worked. I brought the car back and said this wasn't what i paid you for. The next day when I got off work I went up there and talked to Dan, he said from here on he would repair the car for free and make sure it was running right before it was ready. The shop called two days later saying that the car was ready. I drive up there get in and it is idling fine and it had brakes, but the coolant gauge still wasn't working and and the car has absolutely no power, a CEL is on and barely gets down the road. I left with the car because I was tired of them trying to fix a vehicle that they obviously didn't want to fix. I lost a good heap of money from this place and don't recommend anyone ever going there.
