1 /5 Another Somebody: I dont recommend. They did my timing job since I was worried about messing something up and missing work to do it. They did the work at a low labor rate. There was an grease print on the headliner, but oh well. When it started leaking oil (it never leaked before) they said I didnt tighten the oil filter enough. Next time I went in for the leak they said it was the pcv valve which they replaced (without asking). Turns out that required changing the valve cover too ($700 bill without asking, ouch). I brought it back in for the leak and they kept it 4 days. When I went in asking for an update after 4 days, they said they let it idle outside for an hour without seeing a drip. I was pissed they just left it running for an hour without bothering to find it. I realized Roger had no intention of fixing his own damage, so I did it myself. First I did the crank seal for $10 which they didnt replace (shame on them). While getting to it, I saw they loosened the fan clutch nut with pliers (not the ford tool). Then I reved it under load in the garage until it reached 210° repeatedly until I found the leak. They didnt RTV seal where the oil pan meets the timing cover. Thats LITERALLY called out in the $15 shop manual. Ten cents in RTV, wasted a year of me stressing every time it puked 2 quarts of oil while towing. While dropping the oil pan, I also noticed they never torqued the front oil pan bolts or they used the torque values for the next model year (Yes, this is where the leak was). I then pulled out multiple pieces of timing guide in the oil pickup screen that they didnt bother dropping the pan for.
Oh, guess what happens when you fling oil in an engine bay. Your alternator goes out. There went another $200 and a stressful night for my wife and kids.
