Payless Automotive

I love these guys! I can always bring my car here and have them check it out …
Today, a «check engine alert» showed up on my son’s car. We took it in and they had it reset in no time. It turned out to be a simple thing and he told us we can bring it in later when we can be without it for a day, so he can repair it. He didn’t even charge us to look at it!
I’ve used «Ray» for over 7 years now and he’s always steered me right …
He’s a «techie» mechanic, and understands a lot about cars! If you’ve got the time, he’ll even show you the problem in your car and what they need to do to fix it.
Honest, stands behind their work … I like this guy!

So much bad stuff happened at this shop, to long to list…
So for the complete story go to:
…
The short version:
Payless Auto Repair (Pflugerville) charged 735.85 for a brake job, had the car 6 months, after 6 months the brakes were still totally non-​functional, (as in… the pedal bottoms out on the floor and doesn’t stop)
Then the owner Ray, ran my classic 1979 Gremlin into the garage wall — doing several thousand dollars worth of damage… and refused to take responsibility… He said it was the car’s fault because the brakes didn’t work… and was belligerent as all get out yelling at me– He actually said he was going to sue me for the damage to his garage…
after he was supposed to fix the brakes… and he wrecked my car… unbelievable!
The, he wouldn’t give me the keys until the cops forced him to. He said I owed him $ 65.00 for a consultation fee… where he had to take my car to a different mechanic’s shop to figure out how to fix it (which he never got around to doing). Obviously, as a mechanic, he was totally inept… and then there’s the whole wrecking my entire fromt end and refusing to take the blame thing.
Go to the website listed above to read the entire story … there’s much more to it then what I can write here. It includes pictures of the damage and the bill plus more info.
