Complaint Review: J and S Used Engines LLC

The head gasket in my 1993 Civic blew.  J and S seemed to have the best deal for engine replacements, so I took my car to them.

They took 2-3 weeks longer than their original estimate to fix the car, and when I got it back the engine check light was on, and the car was running rough.  I could also tell from valve guide-induced smoke that the engine was NOT a low mileage one.

I took the car to a Honda dealer, and they said the oxygen sensor and EACV were bad.  I replaced both, but still had the same problems.

So I took the car back to J and S.  Every time I called they told me what they had done, and that the car should be easy to fix.  But they never actually fixed it, and as near as I can tell all they did was hook up the ECU once to read its error codes.  J&S had the car for 3 months.   I just got my car back.  Due to the crappy job they did - and other factors - I'll probably end up junking the car. I'm sure never using their services again!
