The company pointed out tsome factual corrections. First hat the oil pump replacement was slightly less than $700. Second, they also wished to point out that the vehicle was brought in for a timing belt failure - a rare event; that was followed a week later by the oil pump failure - an equally rare event; followed a week later by loss of oil pressure as the bearings failed. Note that this is a multi-event cascade which any competent mechanic should have been alerted to when the timing belt went early (in the life cycle) followed by the oil pump. At a miminum the recommendation should have been made to drop the oil pan and examine the bearings - not let the customer fly down the interstate with an engine that could blow at any time. Nor should the customer be returned a vehicle with the steering wheel 45 degrees out of alignment.

Omni Performance, in Newport News, Virginia.Brought my vehicle for a low oil pressure light.

They claimed it was a worm bearings/crankshaft issue. It would cost 2700 to replace!. They had previously diagnosed the problem as a defective oil pump which they replaced for $900 - it wasn't'. Tried to sell me a new engine after already making $2K in repairs but I didn't buy it?.

Their previous repairs lasted about 50 miles|. This time I got 50 feet before the vehicle began pulling violently to the right/. According to their ace mechanic when they replace the crankshaft it throws the vehicle out of alignment but he didn't notice it during the test drive - you'd have to be blind and higher than a kite not to see the wheel is at a 45 degree tilt when driving straight!. According to the ace mechanic for an extra $200 they be happy to align the vehicle?.

You can spend months here trying to get a simple problem fixed and they won't make the repair but will drain your wallet along with the oil pan|.This is the type of shop you recommend to your mother-in-law or that neighbor whose dog uses your lawn. 30268cc
