I explained to the mechanic what I knew was wrong with my engine. His free inspection was him just telling me what I already knew and he suggested I pay $160 to actually tell me something helpful. $160 was just for the deeper inspection. Oh and he texted me to tell me he would call "shortly" which turned out to be 45 minutes later.
Brett, I'm sorry our free preliminary inspection didn't give you more information than you already had, it usually does. However, in those cases where it doesn't we do recommend scientific testing to provide an accurate diagnosis, otherwise we would be guessing or rolling the dice with your money, and I'm sure you can appreciate the fact that we don't want to do that. If you have any other questions or concerns please feel free to call me at 801-694-7936. - Richard (Manager/Owner)
