yes folks, its all true, you have heard it right. AZB has finally found an honest car mechanic who runs a clean, organized and honest shop with all work performed to perfection.
After years of hunting for a right mechanic, I was about to give up and learn to accept half-a$$, monkey see, monkey do quality work. I have had my car engine totally unassembled and reassembled by some chopo mechanic who had promised me that he had stopped all oil leaks for good. Right after 3 weeks, all the oil was leaking from everywhere and spark plugs were all wet and engine was running on 3 or maybe 2 cylinders. I quickly changed mechanic and was recommended to see another mechanic. He suggested I should have my engine rebuilt and have new rings installed and blah blah blah. A total rebuilt of the engine, just like the other chopo had prescribed. So I paid him the money and work was completed in 7 days. i got my car in good condition but again, after a month, the car started to lose power in cylinders, oil was found in spark plugs and oil was leaking from everywhere. I was about to behead the mechanic and blow up my car with TNT while I was inside. I was really upset because between the 2 mechanics, I had spent more money for rebuilt work than for the price of a new engine.
Then I was finally sent to a mechanic by a patient of mine who owns one of the biggest car part shops in santiago (santiago auto parts). This mechanic seemed like a very serious and professional looking from the first appearance. He told me exactly what was wrong with the car and what the other mechanics didn't do right. He also told me that the work had to be redone all over again and he promised to put an end to power loss and oil leaks from everywhere. My power steering pump was leaking, oil from car engine was leaking, oil was entering in cylinders and wetting the spark plugs and transmission fluid was also leaking. All this work had been repaired twice already by other crooks. I didn't believe him at first but after talking to his clients, I was made assured that he was indeed a serious mechanic.
I received my car after a week and I was charged very fairly. Now after driving for 5 months, my engine runs like new, no oil leaks anywhere and gas consumption has improved 100%. Eventhough my car is old but with rising gasoline prices, I am keeping my little baby. I will have body work done and have it repainted soon. Its a keeper. I spend 500 pesos gasoline all week driving all around santiago. Who can say the same about their car?
