Mike Aders He ran an ad on craigslist offering mechanic work. Came to rebuild my alternator yesterday, bough battery today. 225 is what he got, never touched my alternator. Battery bad. Norfolk Virginia
I called him to fix my alternator. He shows up with a girl. Claims he can take it off and rebuild it in an hour. Price was okay so I gave him the job. He showed me some small parts and showed me where they were burnt. Told me to charge battery and it should be good, battery light would go off. I did that drove car and battery died. I charged it again and took the battery to have it checked. It was bad, so I came home texted him to see if he could get a battery. He said yeah for 70.00 he could get a new one. He brings that over this morning and it is a side post. He installs it and says all lights are off. I had told his girl I was going out of town so he makes a show to make sure everything is topped off. I get in car he says come here look at this, shows me to ad some water. He jumps in car cranks it says yeah its good. I paid him yesterday 125.00 for alternator and 100.00 today, total $225.00. He leaves I ran in house and back out. Cranked car and not only have I got one light on I now have two battery lights on. Go to Auto Zone battery is dead, to dead to check alternator. Buy another battery cause like I said he changed it to side post and the ground screw was missing. Check alternator, it is bad. So I knew I had been ripped off. Texting him whole time and nothing back. Go to alternator shop that he claimed he bought rebuild kit from and they say no they hadnt sold no rebuild kits and my alternator was never touched. So Paid them to fix it. Still nothing from Dude. He told me his name was Shawn I thought. Ran his phone number and bam he has been doing this for years. Wished I had thought and ran his number first. I will be contacting police in morning. Interesting to see how many names he has gone by and if anyone has his correct name, that would be very helpful.
