Left a 1985 F-250 at this garage for a complete engine rebuild. I purchased all the parts myself. One month short of 4 years later I finally got the truck back. I had been put off and put off and put off again and again and again. I was patient because I thought I was getting a good job. Upon taking the truck out for its first test ride I noted the oil pressure dropping and fluctuating. I stopped the truck and let it run at idle for about 20 minutes as I monitored the situation. After this time there was about 1/2 quart of oil under the engine. I tool it back to Brunos Garage and he stated that he had left an incorrect adapter on the Oil pressure sensor engine mount and that it should be good to go.I again took the truck and drove about 10 miles at which time I pulled over to check the situation again. Again there was oil dropping off the bottom of the engine at a rate of a few table spoons every 5 minutes.Taking the truck to another garage I was informed that both valve covers were leaking and the rear main seal was bad. This job is estimated to cost me $2500 - $3000.Bruno seems like a good mechanic for normal, routine uncomplicated repairs, Fuel pump, tune ups, water pumps, etc but be aware that, at least in my case I paid him $4250 and spent about another $2000 on engine parts and after 4 years I'm left with a crappy engine. I deeply regret leaving this job at this garage.
