Alwin's Auto Repair & Towing WI 54016

Called for a tow from a repair shop to my home. They said no problem we would be there that day, at the very end of the day I received a call from Alwin's saying sorry we couldn't get to it but will first thing the next morning. Next morning they never showed, no call back, no communication. They never showed up again that day. Had to use another service, which of course handled it the way any tow service would. Had never used Alwin's before, clearly never will again. There is not a 0 star review or else they would receive.

They lied to me and charged me $1650 to not do what I asked them to do. I had a duel carb intake I wanted removed and have one of my single intake manifold and one of my other carbs installed. After 9 days I called and they told me “the carb you brought us doesn’t work right, the car won’t stay running and the adjusting pins aren’t doing anything. So we are going to put one of the other carbs on so we can do the linkage. Should be done in a day or two.” They called two days later telling me it’s $1800 because they have 13 hours into it. They claim they rebuilt the carb, new linkage, and air cleaner (which I didn’t need a new one. One of the two they already had of mine would have been fine.) We paid cash, so they removed, what I believe was credit card fees, so the total was $1650. I went to pick the car up and they rebuilt & installed the wrong carb. The one I wanted installed was still in the box. I called them the next day and they told me that the other carb could not be installed because they would have had to get new linkage. It wouldn’t work with what was there. (I told them they might need linkage when I made the appointment) My linkage bracket was still installed when I picked it up, so I do I know what linkage I paid for? I then removed the correct carb from the box to find the fuel line hose I cut off was still attached to the carb. They lied to me saying they installed it and it didn’t work. So. I picked up the car, spent 1 hour removing the old carb and installed the carb I wanted without issue. All the brackets, linkage, everything was the same and worked just fine. It was a simple swap. The car fired right up and ran fine. It came out of a 289 so I adjusted it a little and put 50 miles on it without problems. They lied to me about multiple things and I honestly feel like they stole my money. In the pictures below are… how the car is hooked to the carb, the fuel line I cut off that was still there, and the duel carb pic is (left carb) the carb that couldn’t be installed due to “linkage issues”, (right carb) the carb that they installed. It was an easy swap. I was robbed.

Alternator quit on me and they took it right in. New alternator and they checked the battery which was also shot. Really good Mechanics and trustworthy
