Auto Repairs By Patrick & Co

I feel the need to warn people about this business, my classic car is now sitting with a ruined motor after I've paid a grand and this was the third price change he gave me. I took my car in to replace the oil pump, I bought the parts. He convinced me the timing chain needed changing but my car ran perfect was just running hot but reluctantly I agreed believing and trusting this guy. When I picked up the car he tells me I may need to replace the radiator??? I had the car towed home and cranked it, my car was knocking and now it was making a high pitched whining noise. I drove less than a mile from my house it overheated so i was stranded after midnight! Now it sounds like chains rattling in the motor I believe the bearings failed from oil starvation and I wonder if he even installed my high performance melling oil pump. Plus when i got the car home the hoses were hand loose, I tightened them and had to replace antifreeze. Won't return my calls, signs of a crook.

Patrick's shop is not what most people are used to these days. There's no waiting room, no TV, no WIFI, no free coffee, and not even a chair in the office. It's not the cleanest place but he knows cars.



I had a laundry list of things my car needed. He quoted me a price $700 less than the shops that had all of the features he lacks and he actually came in under the price. He is a real mechanic. No up sell, no pressure and your car is ready when he promises. He will also tell you things you may need to watch for in the future (like if you start hearing this, bring it in and I'll check it out) not this needs to be replaced now like other mechanics.



When I left, I felt as if I was driving a new car (and mine is 27 years old). I highly recommend Patrick for any repair you may need. I know I'm going back the next time I need service.
