I too used to think this was a "good" shop, with an "honest" mechanic. I took my Jeep to them with a SIMPLE clutch problem. The rod fell out of my clutch master cylinder and needed replacing, the clutch needed replacing as well, I didn't feel like crawling around under my Jeep for 2 days wrestling with my transmission by myself so I thought, I'll just let Litchfield Auto Repair do it. A week later they call me to say my Jeep is ready. They told me there was grinding in reverse. I'm thinking they are talking about that little bit of grinding you get shifting into reverse sometimes so I go pick it up. Pay the almost $3,000 bill (they replaced a head too) and head out. Go to the store and when I go to back out of my parking space it won't go into reverse at all, as if i was attempting to shift into gear WITHOUT using the clutch! It was not going into reverse. Now I knew it had to be a problem with the clutch because the clutch pedal feels spongy and it's HALFWAY to the floor. Obviously, since my transmission was working just as it should before the clutch job, and the feel of the pedal, and the grinding in reverse is an obvious indication of a clutch issue, and most likely means there's air in the hydraulic clutch system. So after the Christmas holidays I take it back to them and say "Something's not right, the pedal's halfway to the floor and I could get in reverse just fine before they replaced the clutch". They tell me fine they'll look at it again. Another WEEK goes by I go pick it up. No change. Still no reverse. So by this time I realize they are not going to fix it. I drive it home and tell my girlfriend that I am going to fix it and I am going to take it back up there and confront them with it but that I wanted my girlfriend to go with me because I wanted her to be a witness to the conversation so she could then write her own review about our experience and hear all the BS these guys were feeding me. So I fix it in about an hour in the driveway with my girlfriend watching every move. I kid you not, I reverse bled it and it took me about 30 minutes. My transmission shifts beautifully. There's absolutely nothing wrong with it as I knew, but I had to fix it myself as proof. So I tell my girlfriend to come with me and listen. I told her that I was going to go over the problems with the clutch, the soft pedal, loss of pedal travel etc. and then tell him if he was sure it was the transmission then I wanted to have them rebuild it for the $2000 they quoted me, but only if they were sure it was NOT the clutch. Oh, and they replaced EVERY SINGLE PART you can replace in my clutch AND the clutch hydraulic system. So here's the good part. Right there with my girlfriend listening they told me my synchros in my tranny were going out, and that the new clutch was putting "pressure" on my already weak transmission which is why it wont' shift into reverse!! The owner Phil, and BOTH of the guys in the office told me the same thing. The OWNER, and BOTH of the guys that work in the office. Same story. At this point I tell them that is very interesting because I bled the clutch myself and it shifts great. Bled it one time. They claim they had 3 mechanics look at it. Interesting. I'm not a mechanic. I watched a Youtube video and fixed it 3o minutes later. It was laughably easy to fix. So I then informed them that not only is it shifting fine, but I also know that reverse has no synchro. Mark starts stammering and stuttering and says "well let me get you the owner". So the owner comes up to me checks out the clutch and apologizes and says they "made a mistake". Really? I don't believe that for one second. Phil told me he has 27 years experience in the auto repair business. There's at least 8 mechanics that work in the shop. So, with all Phil's experience and the cumulative experience of every mechanic in his shop, and they just couldn't figure out how to bleed a clutch? I think not. We caught them red handed lying to us and telling us it was the "reverse synchro" (there ain't one), and that the new clutch was putting "pressure" on the transmission, What? That's not how a clutch works (it puts pressure on the flywheel) and quoted me $2000 to fix it. When I told the owner Phil it looks like he was trying to rip me off for a transmission rebuild. Phil then told me another lie and said he wouldn't be trying to rip me off because he doesn't make any money on a transmission rebuild. Really? There's only about $400 max in parts to rebuild it. So Phil, it has been determined that YOU are a LIAR and a CROOK, FAR from honest. You should be out of business. I don't even care about the money but all the lying and trickery. There's no possibility as far as I'm concerned that Phil and his entire shop of mechanics can't bleed a clutch. I'm still stunned that the owner and both service advisors lied to me like they did. My girlfriend will be doing a review too she heard every word. What a bunch of CROOKS! IDIOTS! These guys suck, can't eve
