Castro Motorspots,
Okay Ive had enough. Ive been there 3 times. I usually do all the work on my car, Im very capable. I was so caught up with work and I needed things fixed asap. I now realize I've taken my car there 3 times like and idiot. I can't believe I see some many e30s rocking their license plate holder.
They have not used parts I have supplied. Changed me for work they didn't do. Sent me out on the street with no brakes. Stolen stickers out of my car and now I have no idea what work they really did or didn't do. Or if they have taken parts off my car.
Ive driven my car over 70k miles and owned it 5 years before I took it to Castro's. Ive never had any issue with my transmission and I beat the hell out of the car. The last time it was there I had them check the car to see where leaks are coming from. My e30 has typical leaks. I was surprised when they told me the transmission was leaking as Im sure it would of presented itself by now. So a few months later its getting really hard for me to shift and its gotten so bad it would barley go into gear. I go to swap the oil thinking its maybe really old and there was hardly any oil in it. Come to find out 2 mounting bolts are missing from the passenger side where the tans meets the engine. And the inside of the bolt holes are super clean. So they couldn't have been gone for that long. Now that I changed the oil the syncos feel fucked. Hopfully I just put the wrong oil in it.
I supplied them with the metal rings that hold the boots on the tie rod ends. Just found out they used zip ties.
I had them do a full bushing change / rebuilt kit when I had them install the z3 short shifter. They gave me all the bushing back and said they didn't want to drop the driveline but still change and said they would do it if I ever brought it back. Not only that but they gave me the car back with the linkage grinding the hell out of the driveline with no mention to me that it was doing it. They just told me to let it grind till it wears a notch in it and then it will stop. Needless to say it was so bad I had to take it back and have them install a bent one. But now the car doesn't feel like it has a short shift so Im not sure if its still my shifter or not. Im gonna have to take it all apart and check the part number.
After the tie rod swap I noticed a couple days later I was missing a bbs cap on my weaves.
Had them doing the wheel bearings and all I hear is crazy grinding on the passenger front wheel when I make a hard left turn.
Also had them install the bushing for the controls. It squeaks so bad I feel it vibrating under my feet.
Unreal. Not only is this poor business practices. This is fraud.
Beware.
