Walker's A To Z Auto - Nick Shaley & George Walker - Fraud Artists - Beware of these THIEFS !! Clinton Iowa
They use fraudulent business practices. We purchased a vehichle from them the end of July. Later I found out they had put heavy weight oil and Lucas additives
(+ whatever else may have been in there) in the engine to cover up the fact it had severe internal damge. The oil when I drained it was really thick,like 80w90 gear oil.
After putting in the manufacturer recomended 5w30 oil and factory filter,the engine made alot of noise at start-up.The timing chain guides and tensioners were shot.
The answer from them was;"we drove it 500-800 miles and it did not make any noise". DUH !! Ya think ?? With the equivalent of gear lube in the engine it wouldnt. Mine isnt the only "story" I've heard about this place either.
Stay clear of this place.
