    I hade a repair done at Clark Automotive Located in Brandon Fl. I went into there repair shop to have my radiator flushed an my cabin air filter replace. When I came back to get my car I notice the AC system wasn't working. I called back to the shop and told them that when I originally came into their shop my AC was working now it 's not . Bob C. then said Well we can repair but it's going to cost $1400. I paid . Even though my car was working fine when first came into there shop. They installed a compressor and it failed , call them they replaced the first compressor , a few weeks later that second compress failed. Call the shop and informed them that the second compressor also failed and according to the infinite dealer that second compressor caused the hold AC system to fail. Other parts where damaged as a result of the bad compressor that was installed . I have a written statement from the infinite dealer stating that the second compressor damaged the rest of the AC system.

    Charged me for services that were not done. When I went back to the store, the owner tried to get me to bring the vehicle back, even followed me outside after I told him I was not going to do that why give them another chance to be dishonest. Very dishonest company. Between this incident I had an issue with my vehicle running hot. Took it there and they said it would cost over $2800.00 and they weren't sure if that would fix, well after not agreeing to do that, I took it somewhere else it cost $57.00 dollars to repair. The coolant reservoir top had been cut. And they were the last ones that looked at my vehicle. I have photos of the service that were never completed.
