Did not repair power steering, pump as stated. Only did power steering cooler/condensor assy for a leak & replace 1 leaking heater hose. On 6-2-22, 1 1/2 months later she brought it back stating her steering was tight as she turned and was leaking fluid. We inspected her car and found the steering shaft (lower) has a bad v-joint causing the tightness as she turns and found that the radiator has a coolant leak and needs replacement. We quoted her prox $800 parts & labor for radiator and quoted prox $450 parts and labor for the steering shaft. She declined repairs. She said she would have to save up money to get it fixed. She also kept insisting that we should have fixed this the first time it was here. I have tried to show and explain that this has nothing to do with the previous repair. Car has 206,455 miles on it and will probably need more repairs as time goes on. After getting this notice I called complainant. She agreed to come down and let me show her exactly what was replaced and what was needed to try to help her understand. Then out of the blue she started to curse me and told me "you charged me boo for that. That's too much money". She has no idea, no matter how much I try to explain. Afer she cursed me out, I told her not to come back to our shop. She is trying to blame me for all that goes bad on her car. After 34 years in business I do not need customers like her!

Yes I did go there as I stated he told me about a radiator being replaced if it needed two radiators for the same reason of fixing my truck why didn't he do that he stated to me that there's a radiator on the front and back I need 2 why would he just replace one and not both he replaced the one in the front .he never told you all about me. Returning to him several times after I received my car back he wasn't there I was told that he was on vacation. No one never showed me what was done on my truck until I filed a complaint with you all . I payed up front because Chris stated he needed to get the parts why was that I'm requesting asking for $500 back because I didn't have any problems with steering my truck until I received it back from Chris.

I have already responded to this complant. Just to make it very clear- we did not do anything with the power steering pump at our shop. We only replaced the leaking power steering cooler. This woman is completely confused. I have gone over this several times with her.
