When I first met Benji via YourMechanic app, I was impressed by his professionalism and calm demeanor. I hired him to look over my Ford Explorer and he diagnosed that I needed new front brake pads, motor mounts, transmission mount, and control arms. I also asked him to replace the spark plugs fix & whatever was causing my check engine light. The total was $1898.00. I paid upfront and he picked up the vehicle and then I picked it up a week later.
All seemed good at first, but I noticed the front brakes still squeaked like before the next day. Then the next day after that, the check engine light came on! I reached out and he did reply at first that he would come check it out. But he never showed up on the day he said was open, and never texted or called back. The next day my car started having a front end shimmy to the right when going over 20mph and it scared the heck out of me. I let Benji know about that and he said he would check it out. But he never set up a time and I tried him 3 more times with a call, voicemail and a text over the week. Now I have an unsafe car that jerks to right after 20mph, squeaks when I apply the brakes, and has a check engine light on.
I have to spend more money with another shop this week to fix my car again just to be operational. It shouldn’t be this way. It’s one thing to be busy, it’s another to blow off a patient customer that spent $1900 with you. Would not recommend.
