Got ripped off at MyMechanic. Brought my Jeep Wrangler there for two issues, 1. suspension shaking too much when hitting a bump, and 2. engine light on (emissions). Note that another mechanic previously told me that catalytic converter needed to be replaced.



They looked at it and said that needed to replace steering damper shock to resolve shaking $300, need to replace "deflector" to fix the engine light - another $450. Oh, and they found a leak in the water pump - yet another $400. Note that I never saw antifreeze leaking, but I am a trusting type of person so I said Ok.



After I got the jeep back, the engine light was off, but Jeep continued shaking. I drove it for about 200 miles and the engine light went back on, basically when the computer automatically reset.



I brought it back to MyMechanic. The story now is that shaking is because couple of bolts on the suspension needed to be tightened. So why replace the steering damper shock in the first place? For engine light, the story now is that catalytic converter needs to be replaced $1300-1400. I asked why did they replace the deflector? Answer was that the error code before was different. What are the chances of two separate issues with emissions within 200 miles?



I am now thinking that I was ripped off for the whole job, even the water pump since I never saw any spots under my car before. Never going back there again. Take your money somewhere else.
