On June 29th after adding gas to my car a few days prior my check engine light came on as well as the car putting and being sluggish and would not stop or the light go off. I told my husband that it might be bad gas. He took my car to Auto Zone for a diagnostic test and they said it was the catalytic convertor. I told my husband to have it towed to ******** on San Pedro since they did the catalytic convertor the last time. He suggested that I take it to ******** on ****** since it was closer. It was towed there on July 1st and he spoke with ***********On July 6th I spoke with ***** and he gave me a verbal quote of $2514.70 said it was the catalytic convertor and an additional $600+, not knowing what the additional things were, I told ************ did not have a lot of money to put out, do not do any additional and to fix the catalytic convertor. He said it would be ready in a day or two. I called him on the 8th and left a message for him to see if my car was ready. I called again on the 9th and he was gone for the day.I called ***** again on the 13th after several days of no response. ***** called back that afternoon and apologized for not calling back, and that my car was ready to be picked up. My daughter and I went to pay and pick up my car. ***** suggested that I have it towed because he did not want it to stop on either one of us because of the heat and be stranded.I paid a total of $2473.43 for the catalytic convertor, maintenance tune up, ignition coil assembly and oxygen sensor which was not discussed that these things would be done. My check engine light was still on and the car was putting. I went back on the 16th because of the battery cover was broken and caps under the engine was not tighten. I told ***** about the other diagnostics done on my car and he argued that he told me.My dispute is that I went for 2 things to be checked and done on my car and others were done without my consent.
