Zuñiga Auto Repair of Rialto

I am rejecting this response because: To whom it may concern,Most of the content of the response of [redacted] were liesI paid the rest of my balance for the engine rebuiltWhen I went to his shop, it was already past pm to pay the $and his secretary [redacted] already gone for the dayHe called her and she told him where to find the receipt with the remaining balanceI gave him the money and in return he gave me the receipt and put paid in full, I still have that receipt for documentationAnother thing that was not mentioned on my complain was when I got my car after the engine rebuild, My car wouldnt start normalI went a few times in his shop to address the problem along with burning oilHe replaced my starter 3x since they did the engine rebuild and that didn't fix the problemAnother time he said it's the gas regulator, so I told him to go ahead & replaced it, if that was the problem why my car is not starting rightDuring this time also, he said that he wants me to leave my car for a few days so he can check on why my car is burning oilI told him that I'm going to need a rental car so he offered one of the car that he is selling for me to rent itHe charged me $30/dayHe kept my car for days, didn't check my car, he used my car as transportation to conduct his businesses to different places..that how he checked my car, he didn't work on it on why it was burning oilI know because that's what he told meI have to call him after days to check on the status of my car while he rented me a car that he charged me for $30/dayWhen I got my car, still have the same problem, not starting right and burning oil and I keep on buying 1gallon of synthetic oil every weeksWhen I came back another time, I mentioned to him that one of client's husband which is a mechanic that it might be the flywheel that is bad and that's why my car is not starting rightFinally, they tooked out the flywheel and it's missing teeth and needs to be replaceIt cost me another $for it to be replacedThey tooked out my flywheel when they rebuild my engine and they probably put it backwards or not on timingAfter the, my car starts fine but the burning of oil continuesOne day, my car wouldn't move when I move the gear to drive or reverseI towed it in one of the mechanic shop in Moreno Valley and when they check it, they said I need a transmission engineI called [redacted] and told him what the other mechanic shop told me and he said that he is sure that it's not the transmission engine, he just have to check the gear and if it's the transmission engine, he will charge me $1,for it plus $towingSo I let them tow my car from the mechanic shop in Moreno Valley to their shop in RialtoThe next day, he called me that it's the transmission engine and he change his price from $1,to $1,plus $towingI told him to go ahead and fix it and paid him $1,cash for that workBut the burning of oil continues and I'm getting impatient with itI brought my car so many times in this shop and all I do is spend more money on other thingsHe told me to use synthetic oil and to bring my car to his shop for oil change which cost me $everytime On 8/30/17, I brought and left my car for nth time in his shop, I see tremendous amount of oil leak, I didn't get a call until around 5pm after I try to reach [redacted] at 1pm and he's not on his shopHe told me that it's not engine oil leak, it's power steering oil, he said it happens because of the hot weather, he said they fill it up but I need an oil changeI said go ahead and do the oil change and I will pick up my car, after minutes, I was dropped off to his shop to pick up my carHe told me that there was a big problem in my carThey found the oil engine leak when they raise my car in the bayHe showed me that it's coming from the seal (that's what he told me not the solenoid and I have the receipt that says it too)He told me that seals need to be replaced and wants me to pay for the parts and labor (again)That's when I told to my self enough is enoughI told him that they probably didn't change the seals when they did the engine rebuild which for every other mechanic I talked to said that -that's part of engine rebuildSo he fixed it and I still paid $for "oil change"But the burning of oil continuesOn 9/5/17, I bought more quarts of oilOn 9/17/17, another quarton 9/18/17, I went to [redacted] 's shop, all they did is put 3quarts of oilOn 9/25/17, went back again because my oil engine light is one again [redacted] put another quarts of oilHe suggested to leave my car for weeks so they can check why my car is burning oilI told him that I'm okay with it but I'm going to need a rental car while they have my car and I want him to provide it since all this time I have been spending money on oil, been losing work everytime I bring my car to his shop and keeping it for days and not fixing the problemAlso the last time, I got a rental car for days but he never fix the problemHe said no, it's my problemThat's when I told him that maybe I should find other alternative and I leftOn 10/04/17- I brought and left my car to his shop for them to fix my carHe wasn't there when I dropped it off but I told his mechanic [redacted] and secretary [redacted] to call me but he never called meFinally he called me on 10/9/and he wants me to come to his shop to show me the problem with my carI came by and he told me that the piston rings are badHe suggested that I should pay the parts and he will take care of the labor because the parts company wouldn't replace it for free since its been monthsI told him that I wouldn't pay for it because it's not my fault why the piston rings are bad, and I have been coming to his shop for months telling him the burning of oil but they never open the engine, and I have year warrantySo he got mad and I leftAfter the 2nd week of not hearing from him, I called and ask the status of my carHe told me that I have to wait for more weeks even though his mechanic [redacted] told me that morning that my cat will be ready the next dayI came the next day to check the status of my car with a friend which I asked to take pictures of my carHe changed his story, now ,my car will be ready the following WednesdayCome Tuesday, he called me and said my car is ready but he noticed that there's a crack in my radiatorI told him that when I left my car to them weeks ago, there was no problem with my radiatorI picked up my car the next day with a friendHe had me sign a paperI asked for his business license of his shop and that's when his secretary [redacted] raising her voice to me that I don't need it and told [redacted] that he doesn't have to give it to meI told them that according to the Bureau of Auto Repair they should provide that to their customersIn the end, they gave me a copy of an expired business license, I left with my car with no police involvedThey gave me my car keys after I signed the paper that [redacted] wants me to signedI don't owe them any money, I paid all my balance, I have all they receipts to prove itI spent over $5,on my car from the time they rebuilt my car and replacing parts which I shouldn't have to, spent money for rental car and they didn't fix the problem and lost income every time I bring my car there and they keep it for days.Sincerely, [redacted] ***
