Richmond Va heads up

Took my car to Buddy South Hull Street for inspection. The car was running good, no problems. They aaid it would pass inspection but needed carb. Happy they hadnt notice the was no smog controls and that the third brake light was gone I said go ahead. I understand some service center are on commision and that is fine. When I picked up car it was at night so I didnt get the sales pitch. What notice when I got home was someone had loosened that valve cover. I also noticed it was running rough. The owner said it was running rough because it was a piece of sh*t and was cammed. This weekend I finally had time to look into it more. Number 6 plug had been smashed shut. It took a good blow to smash the electrode in the plug like it was to cause a miss. The first time I went there I had to take my car back 6 times for them to get it right. I was giving them second chance.

Rideon, go to Art's Automotive off of Staples Mill Road. Before I learned about cars and did most of my repairs, i went to him. My parents went to him for years, since I was 5 and I am 23 now. Tell him that Scott Harrelson sent you

He is located on Staples Mill Rd, near Willow Lawn. Hope this helps.
