    This shop is operated by criminals, dishonest! Beware!! After taking my ******* in for diagnostics, i was told 4 sensors needed replacement and was verbally told how many hours it would take and that ******* genuine parts will be used. "However" after i received a call demanding credit card payment for double the hours quoted including parts 20% higher than if i purchased them direct from *******, i was alert to criminal activity. After requesting all the paperwork, the manager "********" demanded "cash payment" upon pickup. When i picked up my vehicle, i drove it straight to ******* dallas for diagnostics on the claimed work performed. Dallas ******* technical inspection: "tech found prior shop replaced sensors with aftermarket parts, and one of the exhaust sensors was not replaced". Johnnie ***** ******** is a convicted felon, he was sentenced to 46 months after pleading guilty to eight counts of mail fraud. ******** is the con operating this business. Warning warning warning

    Mr. ****** was quoted a labor price which he was charged. The labor did not go over the quote. The sensors were bought at Bentley by serial number and he agreed to a 45% mark up. I got a discount at Bentley and then added the mark up. We cannot work for free but he expected us too. He came in and paid $4000 less than his bill. The same work at Bentley was over $10,000 more on labor than we were.
    Yes I plead guilty to 8 counts of mail fraud over34 years ago and did my time. The insider trading was reduced to mail fraud which was a lower minimum mandatory sentence. That has nothing to do with this complaint.
    I have had a shop for over 50 years and this is the first complaint since I got out of the federal system in 1996. Out of several thousand customers this guy is unreasonable and demanding.
