1 /5 Rev. Dave Tucker: I really hate to leave negative reviews yet I cannot in good faith recommend this mechanic. I took my car in because I was having trouble with my transmission. They came highly recommended by a trusted friend. I was told that the transmission needed replacing and they would install a rebuilt one for around $5,000. To be fair, they helped me find financing for the repair and offered a warranty. The problem came after the work was done. I drove my car to work in Bedford a couple of days after the repair and started having issues with the new transmission. There was transmission fluid all over the parking lot where I work. And strangely I discovered my air filter was missing! They sent a tow truck at their expense and a couple days told me that a seal had slipped in the new transmission which they fixed and they found my air filter and placed it back in the car. A couple of days later, Im driving back to work in Bedford when the radiator light came on! I was able to get the car safely off in a parking lot off of Berry St. Someone had to pick me up. After work, I had someone take me back to the car where upon inspection we realized that there was a hose leading to the radiator from the transmission that had popped off... There was no sign of a hose clamp anywhere! It was as if someone had just crammed the hose on the line and left it! Upon closer inspection we noticed other strange anomolies. The radiator was not secure in its housing, there were hoses that were supposed to be connected to the engine and manifold that were missing screws. It was as if everything was thrown back together and not secured. I took the car to another mechanic and he found broken and missing parts and everything was just bouncing around. This mechanic took pictures (attached) and secured everything. I am so dissipointed in the shody work provided by D&J Auto. I will never take a car there again and I cannot in good faith recommend to anyone.
