My experience with Harrell's Tire & Automotive has been an absolute nightmare. I brought my vehicle in due to persistent misfires and specifically chose this shop because they are listed as a Jasper-approved transmission mechanic. What followed was a series of miscommunications, incomplete work, and questionable billing practices. From the start, I was told by Kaleb that a full diagnostic and fuel pump replacement had been completed. I approved the fuel pump replacement based on this information. However, after multiple follow-ups and showing up to pick up my vehicle, I learned the fuel pump was never replaced. Despite being told the vehicle was running smoothly, I paid nearly $900 and received my car back in worse condition--it no longer even turns over. I also provided the necessary parts for the EGR valve replacement, which they ignored. Instead, they charged me $248.32 for their own part, despite clear instructions to use the one I provided. Their response afterward? "Oh, you wanted us to use your part?"--which had already been discussed. I was billed for multiple levels of diagnostics and essentially nickel-and-dimed, yet I never received a single clear diagnostic report. When I requested documentation to justify the work and charges, I received vague responses with no real findings. I followed up repeatedly by email, and no one responded--even now, I still haven't received the information I asked for. Every time I asked for clarification, I was ignored and when finally receiving a response, i was told the issue was now "out of their scope"--but only after hours and only after repeated follow-ups. This is especially misleading since they are listed as a Jasper-certified transmission repair shop, and that's exactly why I brought my vehicle to them. Despite this, they referred me to another shop that isn't even Jasper-approved. What's more, only 1 of the 4 core issues was addressed. No O2 sensor replacement. No proper resolution of misfires. No transmission diagnostics. No fuel pump replacement. The vacuum leak diagnostic is listed on the invoice, but the explanation doesn't make sense--especially when they claimed they couldn't run the car long enough for transmission testing, yet also said a test drive was done. Prior to dropping my vehicle off, it had misfires, but it started and ran. After picking it up, it won't even turn over. The situation is worse now than when I left it with them. Kaleb claimed it was running well right before pickup--but that clearly wasn't true. They are legally required under NDOJ guidelines to provide detailed documentation of diagnostic findings and repairs, and they've failed to do so despite repeated requests. I never expressed confusion. I approved the repairs--I simply wanted a record of why they were needed and what was found. Instead, I was dismissed and told I didn't understand, which is both false and insulting. This shop lacks honesty, transparency, and professionalism. I paid $900 for a car that's now non-functional, received no valid documentation, and was misled about what was done. Absolutely unacceptable. I would not recommend this shop to anyone under any circumstance.
