Watkins Tire & Auto Service Thieves and liars. Multiple repairs done incorrectly and repeated failure Port Charlotte Florida
Thieves and liars! Do yourself a favor and stay away. I'm a mechanic and someone I know got ripped off here really badly. They put in a bad axle which clicked shortly after, then they replaced it with another which is completely loose and wiggles back and forth where it connects to the intermediate shaft. They charged $ 50 for a second replacement which they stated was Cardone trying to be nice. No that's not being nice, that's just normal axle wholesale cost. Keep that markup in mind if they ever charge you 105+ for an Axle. The same car had it's clutch master and slave cylinder replaced many times as well after repeated failures. The owner is an egoist and tries to give you the most careless attitude to get you to react so he can try to look like the righteous one in the situation. I've installed 100s of axles and never seen one do this. I've gotten a few bad ones in the past and I know they're not all perfect but when I feel there's a lot of play or the fitment is not right I don't go through with the install and let my customer just drive away on it. You should be ashamed of yourselves. The owner fears all the negative reviews because screwing people is the nature of his business, it doesn't matter what he says because he's a complete liar. I'm going to spread the word everywhere about this place because I'd hate to know of anyone else getting ripped off by these crooks.
