Standard Engine Co Incorporated

, I had some engine problems with my 1999 Grand Am, and I called Standard Engine Auto Repair in order to service my car. I had the car towed to Standard Engine, and when I spoke to the mechanic at the shop, I was told that the car could not be repaired, and I had needed a new engine. I had the repairs done and about three weeks later, I started having problems with the car again. FIVE MONTHS have passed and I do not have my car. I have called on several occasions, and I have been told that the car would be ready in a week and they are still waiting on the part to come in. I had to finally purchase a new car because the cost of renting cars weekly was becoming too costly.

Pros: Will give you the run around.

Cons: Will avoid you instead of helping!! My car started growing grass under it.

I ordered an engine 2 months ago, because they sounded like good guys who knew what they were doing, and the price was reasonable. But I never got the engine! I put it on my debit card, and they quickly took their payment, but the engine has not arrived! Every time I called them, they'd give me a different story about why I never got the engine. One time, they even said they "lost" it and needed to send me another one. Now, all of their phone lines are "conveniently" disconnected... I'm very upset because I ordered that engine for a customer of mine, who's been waiting patiently while these guys give me the run around. The customer paid almost $2000.00 for this engine, and now my business is in jeopardy because of Standard Auto! They owe me a refund, but I'll probably never see it since I'm all the way over in Hawaii. I will never do business with these guys again, nor will I recommend them to anyone!

I cant say enough good things about STANDARD AUTO.They have always treated me as a valued customer,have never overcharged me or kept my car longer than they said they would.The staff,from the front office to the mechanic working on my cars have always been professional and courteous.I once brought in a car that I was certain needed a waterpump,I left the shop and 30 minutes later I received a call telling me that I could come pick up my car.Upon arrival I was told that electricl plug on my cooling fan had come unplugged.They wouldnt even charge me for finding the problem. I highly reccomend STANDARD AUTO in Chesapeake.
