Mal mecánico no es honesto tenia la luz de motor encendida por el cooling system y me dijo lo mismo que el otro mecánico, el termostato. Pero el me dijo que le va poner un termostato del dealer y me cobro 800 dolares pero me cambio el intake y coolant flush. Pero lo que pasa es que me regreso el check engine y me dijo que no puede hacer nada y me mandó para el dealer y no se soluciono. Cobra caro sin saber lo que hace. Menos mal que conocí un amigo que me lo arreglo de verdad y me dijo que el termostato no era para el carro porque era muy grande y el antifreeze pasa muy rápido y por eso le encendía la luz porque tardaba mucho para calentarse el carro. Y le pusimos uno del AUTOZONE DE 16 DOLARES!!! Y después de un año y 5 mil millas no ha vuelto. Si quieres que te arreglen el carro de verdad valla al C&A auto service en la 189 unión ave paterson que es donde me amigo trabaja. Gracias por leer yo se que fue largo pero yo quiero decir la verdad de este porque tiene muchos buenos comentarios pero es muy malo este mal nacido.

Castro fixed my 2008 Jeep liberty sport shifter cable for a good price and in a timely manner. He was professional and gave me a 1 year warranty for the shifter cable and receipt.
