Complaint Review: Hoang Tran

Private mechanic Hoang Tran is the biggest villain and lousy mechanic. He has very strong skills to full people. BE ALERT! He
doesn't give any warranty on labor, no receipts. If he does repair wrongfully, there is no way to make him responsible for huge damages. He defrauded me on repairs and sold lemon vehicle. He used to own Quioccassin Auto and Tire,
but went out of business around 2010 by any mysterious reason and does repairs at home in his garage. I brought him my old car to fix and spent more than $1000 for repairs before he sold it even for less money. After being parked
next to his house, he told me that it didnt run anymore and needed a new gas pump, because no one would buy a car, which wasnt running. I didnt know the process of selling and buying cars, so he led me through it, pointed where to
put information and I realized later that he did a violation, called skipping title and I didnt even know for how much and to whom he sold it. And he brought title for new vehicle to DMV, which wasnt on his name as well. You can complain to DMV fraud about skipping title violation. He volunteered very gladly to help me with buying a new car and inspecting as mechanic. He said he found Super deal and claimed the car was as it is. In fact he found car with bad problems, repaired and sold it to me. When one catalytic converter went bad, I found out that he replaced two other catalytic converters before he sold car to me. Than transmission went bad and the reason was that Tran installed converter the way the gasket was leaking exhaust onto the transmission causing its damage (confirmed by qualified mechanic). Two catalytical convertors Tran installed before selling me car, were wrongfully installed, which again caused exhaust leak in another places. It was confirmed
by mechanics in two different shops. Repair cost $670.00. In one year I spent almost $5700.00 in repairs. He installed convertors cheaper than legimate shop, because they were not from original manufacturer. Dont be caught by that! You think, youre saving $200, but later youll loose $5000. He also does State inspections, however doesnt have registered business. You can complain to VA State Police. There is no way to stop him. At Small Claims Court I lost because we didnt have written agreement. Dont let him full you and tell others!
