Based on my experience، I strongly advise people to avoid this place. I brought my vehicle in because of a broken tensioner bolt. I was told the bolt had broken inside the engine block and that the engine needed to be partially dropped to access and redrill it. I was charged $1،400 for this repair، which took nearly 10 days. Two weeks later، my car broke down again. When I contacted the shop، I was told there was no warranty on their work and that they had “done their best.” After pushing for a solution، I was told they had consulted other mechanics and that I would likely need a full engine replacement. I was quoted around $3،500 for that. My vehicle remained at their shop for over a month while they “tried a different solution” while I had to pay for rental cars out of pocket. Eventually I decided to get a second opinion and had the car towed to Tachyon Automotive. They redrilled and repaired the issue properly in two days for $320!! Imagine how pissed off I was to realize I was being convinced to replace the entire engine ($3500) after already spending $1،400 for what turned out to be a $320 repair. When I informed the original shop that a mechanic at Tachyon had fixed the issue quickly and at a fraction of the cost، I was told they weren’t surprised because the other shop had “more advanced machinery.” I will be pursuing this matter further. Trying to get local news involved and I’m asking everyone who endured financial loss due to Lamondes bad business practices to please contact me.
