Total garbage, the owner is a crook. Stay away especially women who doesn't understand cars. They will lie to you about the diagnosis of your vehicle and overcharge you. The work that was done to my vehicle caused my accident.

I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone.

My experience:

I sent jeep in Monday August 12 2013 for a patch weld to Manchester discount muffler because my friend Raymond Yarosis said they did great work. They did it but did secure the bank 2 sensor wire which grounds back to computer. The next day early in the morning I was driving the Jeep and it shut off while I was driving it. So I had it towed back to the same shop. Before the kid could look at it he said it was the fuel pump. Then once he go under hood he started guessing. Not even testing. He said it is the crank sensor, coil cap or rotor. He asked which one yopu want to replace first. Before I made a decision I ran acrosss the street to Rubbos and asked a mechanic there telling my jeep symptoms. The mechanic says because he dealt with a jeep doing the same thing the crank sensor usually goes. So I ran back across the street to the shop that had my jeep and told him to change the crank sensor. Kid (who welded my jeep) argued with me first about doing it finally did it. It didn't work so I gave him the ok to change coil cap and rotor. None worked. Then finally they did some kind of test on my jeep again checking fuses and what not and said We think it is your jeeps computer Ray comes and looked under the hood and the owner tells him to get a new distributor because the one on my jeep is bad. Next day I had to find a ride from one of my friends to Chuck and Eddies to get one(they gave me an incomplete distributor and had to a deliver a completed one). When it got there the kid refused to change distributer but changed the module from distributor to jeep. Still didn't work. At this point one of thier mechanics started coming on to me in an uncomfortable way. standing to close to the point of him rubbing his bulge on my leg. Ray then told me to take it to Rubbos. It took Rubbos 3days to look at my Jeep because they are a busy shop. When they did they found that the same kid who did the welding of my Jeep put in a broken crank sensor . So Rubbos made the same shop replace the part and they re put it in free of charge. Then Rubbos hooked thier computer up to my computer which was no comunication. However there was power going to the computer the computer wasn't sending anything out. Mind you Rubbos did this for free. They told me to Replace the computer, having it towed to have it flashed at jeep dealer ship and thier labor will be $500. I was fine with it but Rubbos warn you may get a new computer but that may not fix the issue. If it doesn't it could be in the wiring harness. They let me know my Jeep was not worth putting that kind of money in. So while I was contacting Junk yards I was continuely doing research and found this article about the bank 2 sensor which is connected to the cadylic converter. The wire that connects from that bank 2 sensors grounds all the way back to the computer. Yesterday I caught a cab to my jeep to wait for fuscos to come and take it. While I waited I took pictures of the Bank 2 sensor and discovered it melted on the cadylic converter wich chipped away like egg shells. I took pictures and Video while Fusco was there. The tow truck driver said believed that wire short circuited the system after my jeep got a patch weld. The cad converter got hot and burnt it up. After wire burned it severed connection causing Jep to shut off and short circutting the pcm. I sent Jeep to Junk yard still. I asked the mechanic across the street of the palce where I had the jeep welded and he said literally the ground wire that was left to lay on my cadylic converter was the direct result of why my jeep stalled with a no spark. I have before and after photos of patch weld showing wire before it was melted and after.
