Mundial
Rip off, tried to scam and giving not true estimate, trying to convince you to pay more to fix

Hi,

Long story short, my engine is shaking, and making high frequency sound, and the smoke is green, so it is burning engine oil.

After inspection, he told me the mechanic told him that there are 2 options
A: changing the engine, and anti-freeze, that will fix everything. cost is above $1k

B: change the pump, and belt, that will fix the shaking, not the smoke issue.

However i know it is caused by bad oil change that is done at the other shop, but when I talk to that guy who did it, he insist its not his fault. I know it is true because as soon as the oil change is done, the engine starting to make noise bigger than before, but at that time he told me it will be fine later on. Yes it is gone, but the noise of engine parts are sliding each other appears after I drove it maybe 20km only... After checking with multiple forums, friend and it is 100% it is either oil that shop used is non-standard, or the oil filter is not new.

So let's go back to this complain, this shop im complaining about is they don't listen to what happen, and insist that this problem is related to the above options.
Anyway I told him just to change oil and filter for me, I will take one of those fix when necessary.

So after he changed the oil, filter, and I drive it for 30 minutes, and no more smoke, no more shaking, everything is back to normal...

So basically he tried to gouge something out of me, or simply ignorance or is not even capable to inspect. But it is trying to lie and get more money, because if he is interested in fixing the problem, he would listen to what I told him about and that will lead to the real fix, rather than any fix that will make him more money. Basically this shop is help less, and gouging for more.

It is a shop on Ossington Ave, between Dundas & Queen. Mundial or something like that.

If anyone has similar complain, let me know, and beware of their practice.
