Speedway Automotive Inc, Brampton, ON

I've known these guys for years. Never had any issues with them until one day. I took my car to them because of a noise I was hearing in the engine. They told me that I needed an engine replacement and quoted me $3,000, they asked for $2,000 upfront and I paid them (Again, never had a problem with them for years). Weeks went by no calls, I called them no answer. After 2 months of them beating around the bush, I went to get my car back from them. They weren't open. I talked to the Mechanic shop next to them and they said they haven't been the re in weeks. I used my spare key to collect my car only to discover it sounded the same as when I first gave it to them (they never even touched it). A few weeks went by and I passed by the shop to see if there was some way I could get my key. Their shop has been cleaned out. The people cleaning it said they hadn't paid their rent and got multiple complaints about people getting scammed out of their money. Later I found out that the owner's wife took him to the cleaners in the divorce. His wife punked him so badly that he had to scam people to make money. SHAME
