**Seeking Your Thoughts on Home-Based Vehicle Repair Shops**

I used a home garage shop in the past for my sandrail and it cost me money. GD member to boot. No integrity and no culpability. Guess I expected the same professionalism as I provide in my line of work but no. Instead I got a bull shit answer to what went wrong and a bull shit offer to make it right.

You get what you pay for and if you need a leg to stand on when shit goes bad, forget it from a home garage or mobile person. You won't be made whole. Won't happen and just chock that up to you got effed. You wanna fight it. Go for it. I would rather eat it and if asked about that garage, provide my experience.

Your mileage may vary. Just my real experience.

Same thing happened to me, with a reputable shop in Vista.

It goes both ways in this world.

This is what my HOME Mechanic pulled off of my truck when replacing my Fuel tank in February. The "Professional" mechanic at Autotyme epoxied the fuel line that he jammed a metal rod down into the tank, through (my initial source of Evap leaks):

When we finally had the truck fixed, I sent the OWNER of the shop this pic. After FIFTEEN YEARS of doing business with him, paying CASH every time and being told I was "The best customer he's ever had", he told me to go fuck myself and that pic was "Bullshit" and "Nothing like that was on YOUR truck, from MY shop!". Ahem... it actually WAS.

I had a plan to completely destroy his business but slept on it for a few nights and realized he's an Alcoholic that will destroy what he has left on his own... and I refer everyone that I used to send to him, to my new guy.

Your typical customer would have no issues taking business to him if doing a quick search for Toyota Mechanics in Vista...
