Punks Automotive & Exhaust

Horrible experience!!. I towed my daughter's car here twice. The first time they claimed it was a compression problem and charged her close to $100 for a diagnostic that they were supposed to do, however it doesn't appear as if one has been done. (We took it elsewhere, THEY did a diagnostic and found it needed a crank sensor) The second time, they told us the car needed a new distributor, and the part would cost $800. THIS CAR DOES NOT HAVE A DISTRIBUTOR!! When I asked them to show me the distributor, he pointed to the coil, told me how a distributor is supposed to work, etc... When I asked him if perhaps he meant the ignition coil or crank sensor, he said "no". (crank sensor and ignition coil are both available for less than $70 each and are used in this vehicle INSTEAD OF A DISTRIBUTOR) They refused to give a written estimate of the work they felt needed to be performed, and charged her another $50 for doing absolutely nothing.

I was treated like a stupid woman, even though I apparently knew more about this car than they did! My daughter was robbed in my opinion, and my time and resources were wasted. I wouldn't bring my lawnmower to this place!!!

In all of my years of working on cars, buying cars, and paying others to do the repairs that I didn't want to do myself, I have never been disrespected so completely or treated like an idiot. I felt this was based solely on my gender and am considering the appropriateness of legal action.…
