I write this review, not with malice... but to warn car owners out there. This shop is not reputable and not trustworthy. It looks like the ideal import mechanic specialist, but they will bleed you dry. I was having problems with one of my bearings and drove the care into the garage to get it looked at. My mistake... never drive your car into the garage, because before I knew it, the tech/owner told me that my ignition cylinder (the lock) was broken and the key wouldn't go in. Now my car is in their show with all of the windows open and no way to drive it out. They start pressuring me that I have to clear out the bay and that the repair will cost $500+ dollars for the new hardware and to re-code my key. I never had any problems with my key... they clearly jammed something into the lock and sabotaged my car. I ended up pushing my car out of the garage and calling a tow truck to take me to my normal mechanic. So much for trying a new outfit. Again, beware and read the reviews well. MINHS mechanics are crooks.
Jonathan, Please Google Ford ignition cylinder class action lawsuit. There is a defect in the design of the cylinder for Ford Focus models 2000-2003. The key may not turn the cylinder anymore to start the car from the minute you step out to pump gas or walk into a store. You will find many other car owners in a similar situation as you, only it failed on the owner and they had no one to blame for it. I’m sorry it failed when it was parked at our shop and your only logical reasoning is the mechanics sabotaged your car. It’s understandable for you to feel that way since we have no prior business relationship. Take care.
