LC's Automotive in Stephenville , TX (2024)

DO NOT GO TO THIS PLACE THEY WILL RIP YOU OFF!!!!!!!!!!

Sent my daughters car in for a starter replacement and was told if I supplied the starter the labor would be $125.00, so the next day I had to call 4 times times checking on completion finally at about 6pm they told me I had other problems said I had internal engine problems, So made an agreement to come down to that following Monday to look at the car. Well about 15 minutes later the owner called me back and said he got it started and that it had vapor locked and he removed a spark plug to fix it (lol) I said ok great I would have someone come get it. But now he says my charges are $300.00 after long a discussion I agreed to pay him $200.00 to get my car out of imprisonment. Only to find this morning that they charge my credit card $300.00 anyways.... Do not give this man your business and defintinly do not give them your credit card over the phone

THIS IS THE ABSOLUTE WROST PLACE!!!! 1st & foremost come to find out from two of his former employees on separate occasions. LC is NOT a mechanic & doesn't hardly know too much about cars, just enough to get by. He only has one Mechanic who works in his garage, and from what was explained to me by his former employees (who are still friends with him just cant do business) is not a very good mechanic either.

LC did a job for me at which he quoted me a reasonable price, however like most mechanics once he started the job he "found" new problems which had to be fixed which he bought the parts and put it on without my consent and just charged it to my bill. After the job was done I go to pick my car up for him to tell me that once he put the parts back together and started the car he found I was now not getting any oil pressure, which I NEVER had a problem with before. I ask how much I will be to fix that and he tells me $100 for the part and roughly $450 for the labor but since im a college student he will "cut me some slack" and only charge close to $400. But the problem is in the same area he just fixed where the labor was only $150. He could have and Should have noticed this problem while he was right there in that area. I spoke to different mechanics and asked how much they would charge for that repair with out telling them the price LC quoted me and they all replied $150-$225 and said that there is no way a real mechanic wouldn't have noticed the broken item when they were just right there looking at it.

When I finally go to pay after the quoted price of $150 jumps to $265 after the extra part was bought his wife who works the register tried to charge me $395! After I started to lose my cool LC told her to just do $265. I had the 2nd problem fixed at a different shop with one of LC's old workers and he informed me that the extra part LC charged me for has NOT been replaced!!!! So Why was I charged. Overall LC is the WORST place to go, as I talk to other former customers of LC as soon as I mention his name they all become angry and start telling me of the rip off jobs he and his wife has done to them. DO NOT GO TO LC'S I HIGHLY recommend you do your own repairs yourself before going to LC. Even if you don't know anything about cars.
