DO NOT take your vehicles to econolubentune located @ marbach and 410. I took my stang there to get new suspension put in, a total fluid change, a new fuel filter, and my brakes completely re-done.
I paid them 140 to do a total flush on the tranny, and they didn't even touch it. the fluid was still black when i picked it up, and the gasket around the tranny's oil pan had so much gunk around it, there's no way they took it off.
I had a spun rod bearing i didn't know about, as i had only had the car 2 days and the seller put HEAVY oil in it.. they didn't bother to change the oil filter, which they charged me $30 including labor to change, and didn't tell me about the metal shavings in the oil! they also said they would use the brake pads I bought from autozone, which were cheaper than the ones they had in-shop. They "forgot" to use mine, and charged me twice as much for their pads as i paid at autozone. On top of that, they didn't bleed the front brakes.
I went back to the shop and spoke to the owner, showed him my reciepts and all- he swears he watched them do all the work and refused a refund.
I spent $1700.
