Merritt's Garage Towing Bandits Coosawhatchie, South Carolina

My car started to overheat on I-95. I pulled over at exit 33 and was leaking antifreeze. Nobody seemed to know an auto reapair shop except for one gentleman in the convenience store. He drove me down about 4and a half miles on the frontage road. I drove back with the tow truck driver to pick up my car. I was a tues late afternoon about 4:30 and I was supposed to be at a wedding in Ga the next day. I left the car with him and got a ride to Ga. I called the next day and he said I had blown the manifold gasket and it was a major job to replace. He had already replaced a broken radiator hose and it would be about $1400 more to fix but he wouldn't guarantee anything. I told him not to do any more I would have it towed home. I stopped there on my way back and payed the bill he would not accept any credit cards or checks just cash. The towing bill for just under 5 miles was $ 250.00 and another $190 for the work he did (replacing radiator hose) He should be wearing a mask and carring a gun. My repair shop at home is replacing the gasket for $416.00 complete. This guy is a old time bandit I will tell everyone to avoid Coosawhatchie, SC. What a scam
