  Jason installed a brand new Gates timing belt kit on our 2007 Hyundai Elantra last year. We noticed soon after that the car was lacking power. The car was struggling going up hills. Gas mileage was down. We brought it back to Jason. He said everything was fine, don't worry about it. Over the course of the year we brought it back 2 more times. Each time he said it's fine, don't worry. Then on Tuesday, May 30th 2017, driving to work the car wouldn't go. The engine was idling but not able to go forward or reverse. Had the car towed to Jason's. He said the engine is shot, offered us $500 for it, and tried to sell us one of the used cars he had on his lot. He didn't say exactly what was wrong with the car. I wanted him to put the car on a diagnostic computer to see whats going on but he said that wasn't necessary. So we decided to have the car taken to a different mechanic for an evaluation. This mechanic said that the timing belt tensioner was installed incorrectly. It was 180 degrees off from were it should be. As a result the timing belt was loose and out of synchronization. As this got worse the engine valves came in contact with the pistons and the engine was destroyed. So now we must have a used engine installed in the car. Total cost will be close to $2000. JASON DOES NOT STAND BEHIND HIS WORK. DO NOT TAKE YOUR CAR HERE. YOU ARE TAKING A GREAT RISK IF YOU DO.
