Beware of (NEW) Solomon's Island Citgo Mechanic

[Railroad (Premo)]

I took my car to this place for an oil leak, a brake job, an air bag light and as an add-on a convertible top replacement.

Three thousand dollars later, I have an oil leak, doubtful brakes (the pedal went to the floor when I picked up the car), and a convertible top that the body shop is afraid to open. And the air bag light is still blinking. I expect I will spend twice the anticipated price, because of the extremely poor workmanship of Monte, the mechanic at Solomons Island Citgo.

Maybe it's time to get a new happy car.

Good on you for the heads up.

Bad deal for you, RR. Raise enough complaint about it, and you may get your money's worth.

I would assume they also deal in gasoline.

I avoid any place that has Citgo gas, simply because of Venezuela and Hugo Chavez. I will not give a penny to that commie dictator for fuel, and if that includes boycotting all 7-11's, so be it.

I boycotted all 7-11's when they stopped selling Sanditos.

Don't know for sure what a Sandito is, but it sounds like something that will grind the plaque right off my teeth.

thanks for the belly laugh, b23

Railroad, I am not sure if this is convenient location for you, or any forum members are looking for good mechanic. We live in St. Leonard (Br. Is. side) Our neighbor is our mechanic, has his own shop, lift, everything on his property. He is excellent...been taking our cars there for over 10 years.

Fully Agree with the Boycott of Citgo and anything attached to a station that sells Citgo gas, however, I must point out that 7-11 hasn't sold Citgo gas for quite awhile.

Alright, I give up, what are Sanditos?

So besides coming on here, did you talk to the owner or manager at Citgo? Was anything down to satisfy your complaints?

Personally, we go to St Leonard Collison Center for all our vehicle work. Plus they have a flat bed and can pick up our vehicles if we need it.
