Craftsman Auto Care - Alexandria
The mechanics at this shop are great, but the owner of this shop has some serious issues. I called the shop in March 2020, met the owners' brother, Bob, and recieved a formal quote from Craftsman Auto for work to be done on my car. Bob was excited and couldn't wait to work on my car. Bob and another mechanic Rick, got my car running and I drove it around. I proceeded to get the body work that they recommended, at a different shop. I then brought the car back to Craftsman, with their approval, only to have the owner step in and not honor any agreements I had previously made with his brother. After asking if he could tow my car, at my cost, to Chantilly, "where he would have more room", which I promptly refused, Matt Curry then decided that he doesn't want to work on my car for less than $10000. The previous quote was for $3000. I asked why he wouldn't honor the quote and he said that he didn't "want to touch that piece of junk". If you can avoid the owner of this place, all the others are great to work with...
Hi Elwood - the reason we decided against working on the vehicle, is that the cost of what it would take to fix everything and make it safe was substantially more than what the vehicle would be worth in the end. Even if we were to fix everything, there is still a chance things would go wrong due to the condition of the vehicle. As you can see from your digital inspection report ( https://2un.me/tfycp450 ) , your vehicle's health is as low as you can go. Our customers safety comes first! If you would like to give us a call at (703) 719-7606, our team can help to go over this issue with you.
