I took my car to Northtown auto clinic to get an oil change and a transmission fluid service, they called me during the service and said that I needed to replace my crankshaft pulley. I allowed them to do so which cost me $1200. A few days after picking up my car from Northtown auto clinic I was driving it and noticed the oil light flash on, I pulled over and checked my dipstick… there was no oil left to my car at all. I brought it to the Ford dealership to see what was really going on with it and they said that Northtown auto clinic installed the crankshaft pulley incorrectly, that they forgot to install a “diamond washer” that was a very necessary part of the crankshaft pulley, which caused a timing chain issue and a crack in the valve cover which then at Ford cost me $3800. I called Northtown to complain, all they would give me was a phone number for a warranty company, when I call the number they tell me that the warranty doesn’t apply to negligent installations. Safe to say these guys have no clue what they’re doing and if it’s not just a basic oil change.. I would bring your car ANYWHERE else. A $400 maintenance appointment turned into $6800 of debt. I’m extremely luckily I noticed the oil issue otherwise Northtown auto clinic would have completely ruined my engine and would not cared in the slightest
