      My friend firmly believes the car repair company Carfix at ************************************************************* lied and damaged his car to get him to pay more to get his car fixed. My friend brought *** to the shop to check the engine light and other lights that were on. After taking the entire day, they came back with a list of issues. One of them being a leak pump needing to be replaced. There were many other issues but we told the repair shop that he only wants to get it fixed enough so it will pass inspection and he will sell it in the near future. He wants to pay as little as possible. They were aware of this and I was told directly over the phone fixing the leak pump will 100% fix the engine light. The tires needed to be replaced as well because it would not pass inspection with the tires he had. I confirmed with him that changing the pump would definitely fix the engine light and he reconfirmed that it would. I have never had a mechanic assure me so confidently that a specific problem would fix the problem so I trust him and my friend agreed and paid $900 for the repairs and 2 tire replacements. We picked up the car and the engine light was off. Not 10 minutes after driving the engine light came back on and we returned it to the car shop. They found a new problem that was never mentioned on the original report, that the wheel speed sensors were needing to be replaced as well as other items. They said to fix everything to get the engine light off and eligible to potentially pass inspection, he would need to pay $3700. Also, there was a terrible oil smell coming from the ac vents whenever he turned the ac on. Unbearable smell that wasnt there before the repairs were made. We talked to other professionals and they all confirmed it is extremely unlikely that the sensors would break 10 minutes after leaving the shop. My friend believes this was done intentionally or they made a mistake. Other customers also left reviews saying they were lied to and scammed.
