Avoid this shadetree mechanic at all cost. I learned the hard way $500 bucks worth.
I brought my car in for a tune up, and when I picked it up I had a popping sound in my exhaust. I returned and he said he'd take a look at it. Well the next day he told me over the phone he didn't hear anything wrong with the car but the popping noise was still there when I got back. Also on the ticket he charged me for Iriduim plugs but later told me he put in AC/Delcos. When i told him I'd bring it to the dealership he got real aggressive telling me he wasn't paying for anything cause bad parts isn't his problem , even though I bought them from him at a considerable mark up. He did offer to replace the plugs but he said if he didn't find any problems he'd charge me again for a tune up.
Anyway the Pontiac dealship found out the plugs weren't gapped proper. So $500 for the tune up and $250 dealship cost to regap them I'm out $750 bucks. Anyway the guy doesn't warranty his work or parts. If he is a master mechanic he should of known what that sound could possibly be. My bet is he didn't want to pull the plugs and fix his own mistake. Zero creditably as a mechanic and a person. I was pretty much told to live the the sound. Just stay away from him if your in the southern Jersey area.
BTW I hate this guy
