I took my
Ford L9000 truck to this shop for oil leak repair and the mechanics, Mr. Kabesa
and Zack told me they are going to do the whole engine repair for $ 2200.00 for
labor and they are going to paint the engine to look like new if I buy the
parts and paint from caterpillar. The owner of the shop came later and told me
that it is also important to do the transmission gaskets the same time to make sure everything is
done instead of coming back again for transmission leak and it is cheaper
because it is not double job. I ask him how much will that cost. He told me he
is going to ask the mechanic to give me a fair deal because they are taking the
engine out they can take it out with the transmission. The mechanic told me the
whole thing is going to be $ 600.00 more so the total will be $2800.00. I
bought the parts and the paint. My truck was there for a whole month and the
time they finished the engine, the transmission was not touched and I could
tell the transmission doesnt have any oil leakage. I asked the mechanic to
check if we must change any gasket on the transmission but he said no, we can
just wash it and put it back because it seems like the oil that was leaking from
the engine made it look like it was leaking too, but it looks fine. So nothing
was done on the transmission that was charged $600.00. I had given the owner of
the shop Mr. Emerson Bento a $ 2,500.00
dollars and I was to pay a balance of $ 300.00 for the engine and transmission
labor. But since the transmission was not touched I expected him to give me
back $ 300.00. I have another truck that Mr. Emerson knew from the previous
owner who use to take it to his shop for repairs and he asked me what I want to
do with the body work that it needed, he told me he have somebody who is
repairing the truck out side his shop and he can do mine too. We drove to the
place where my truck was, him and his mechanic Mr. Kabesa so that they can explain
to the person how the truck is and where I keep it. The repair mans name is
Aurelio, of 301 maple street, Marlboro, mass, phone 774 244 7335 He said he
will be coming to work on the truck that was in Mr. Emerson shop so I can bring
my truck there for him to see and fix if possible. Mr. Emerson told me how that
guy does a good job and he does not over charge so I should not worry he will
let me know how muck the guy is asking for. I did not ask my $300.00 because I
thought the truck will need some money too and I did not suspect anything bad
to follow. The truck that was repaired did not go to work because the ejectors
didnt work well I took it to the dealer and the money they asked me was too
much. When I called Emerson he started telling me I took my truck to other
people so he can not be responsible and he can not do anything to it. I asked
him, can you give engine warrant for one month or two? On 31st
august he sent me a message on my phone saying: I just let you know that you
are paying 150.00 dollars storage on the Volvo since the time you sign on the
work order per month. On the 14th Sept. he sent me another message
saying: Another weekend. I went to his shop on Saturday the 15th and
started the truck, Emerson asked me to sell that truck to him and before I
bought, he was the one who promised the previous owner that he will buy it from
him only to back up the last minute and the guy needed the money. I asked him
what he was telling me and he said it is because he doesnt know how long the
truck will be there and I told him I am taking it. Emerson told me I owe
balance and I cannot take my truck from there because I left it to secure the
balance. When I had that, I decided to make a report to the police because that
is not true, I called
