    Business Response /* (1000, 5, 2022/11/10) */
    Customer towed his 2010 Ford Fusion to our shop, with the complaint that his car had a leak.

    INSPECT & DIAGNOSE (FREE)
    Our technician drove the vehicle and found:
    The front breaks and rotors were bad.
    The transmission was leaking out the front.
    Vehicle was scanned and has a code for the catalytic converter.

    Our Manager informed the Customer that the vehicle was inspected, scanned and driven and the problems that were found. Customer only wanted the leak fixed. Customer was given a price of $895.00: for the transmission removal and replacement. + Cost of seal and synthetic fluid. Customer was informed that we would not know what we would find until the transmission was pulled.

    Customer gave us the ok to start work.

    The transmission was removed. The front seal was leaking and needed to be replaced, the pump and torch converter also needs to be replaced. The seal is in between the pump and torch converter. The pump is causing the seal to leak

    Customer was advised of what was found.
    Customer advised us that he only wanted the seal replaced. We advised the customer that we could not guaranty the front seal would not leak.

    After finishing the repair, the seal still leaks.

    Customer did not drive his vehicle to our shop, he towed it in. (Starter was bad and was fixed at no cost to customer).

    Customer wants us to replace the pump and torch converter for free.

    Transmission...This place is a rip off ...They also stated I was told my seal was leaking only to be told car is still leaking and I owe 1390 FOR WHAT!!!!!!!


    Business Response /* (4000, 9, 2022/11/22) */
    During removal of the transmission the wire broke off the starter. We replaced the starter at no cost to the customer. Starter was worn (parts don't last forever).

    The seal is still leaking because the pump needs to be replaced. The pump is rubbing on the seal making it leak. Customer did not want to pay for replacing the pump and converter to fix his car. He only wanted his seal replaced.



    Customer declined the work we recommended to stop leak.

    Customer was told there was NO WARRANTY.


    Customer still wanted us to replace the seal.

    See attached invoice for what you owe and need to pay.

    See attached picture of customers Starter.
