Harry, so you are the owner of this ripoff service center? Yes, I was under the impression that Joe Ringleman was the owner of both of the stores. Yes, well I am not a disgruntled employee, I am an older woman who was ripped off by Joe Ringleman. And then when I went back because the work perfomed had some issues, I was told by the "new owner" Paul (he said his name was), that he would not make good on what Joe had done for me, as Joe was not with the company no more, and he was not going to stand behind a previous employees work. What kind of warranty is that. And the work that was performed!! He showed me that he was charging me to replace an evaporator core, because the actual job he was doing for me was not listed. This was 6 hours labor at 80 dollars per hour. And by the way, there was no hourly charge posted anywhere in the shop. So he ended up charging me over 750.00 for a job that should have only been 4 hours labor and parts, which were only 90.00 as I was there when the parts store gave him the price. He ended up charging me almost 200 for parts, so the original complaint is totally accurate, he is not a disgruntled employee. I would suggest for everyone to stay away from this repair shop, go to the dealer, cheaper and a better warranty.

My Name is Harry. I Purchace the 2 National Auto Service Centers In Hudson and Port Richey along with the Towing department in September of 2007. This person is obviously a disgruntled employee. I have heard the employee caused lots of trouble with the old owner. What I can assure the public is we are an honest repair shop and have a list of thousands of people you could call and ask. We are a AAA approved repair shop in hudson and a AAA contractor at the Port Richey Shop. AAA SCRUTINIZES all of there approved shops. You must go through a complete criminal back round check, credit check and so on. You also must have a 95 % satisfaction rate in order to be approved! If what this person was saying the shops would not be affiliated with AAA. As I said my name is Harry and you can find me at one of the shops almost every day. Please feel free to call or stop by and ask for me and ask me for yourself should you have any doubts. I would further add it seems a shame that as a new business owner I must defend myself for something I didnt do. Ripoff report should take this posting off. It is punishing me for somthing I didnt do!!!!!! Should there be any question I can prove the ownership change as of 09/26/08 or you can go to www.sunbiz.org and look up national auto service center pasco inc. and you can see for yourself this is public information. Thank you Harry
