I HAD MY HYUNDAI SANTA FE LOOKED AT BY ANOTHER MECHANIC, HE SAID I NEED A NEW GEARBOX AT APPROX $3650, I THOUGHT I WOULD GET ANOTHER OPINION, SO I TOOK IT TO ANOTHER MECHANIC WHO REFERRED ME ON TO JOHN, JOHN HAD THE CAR FOR 4 HOURS, HE CHECK IT, FOUND THE PROBLEM, CALLED ME AND TOLD ME A SENSOR HAD FAILED,THERE WAS NO NEED TO REPLACE THE WHOLE GEARBOX. HE SUGGESTED I FIT A SENSOR AS HE FELT THE SENSOR WAS THE ONLY PROBLEM. IF HE WAS WRONG, THERE WOULD BE NO CHARGE FOR TIME SPENT.SO I AGREED, FELT THAT IT WAS A FAIR ENOUGH DEAL. SO HE FITTED THE NEW SENSOR AND I HAVE NOT HAD A PROBLEM SINCE. THEREFORE SAVING ME AROUND $3100.

Approximate cost: $550
