Bennett Automotive cost the former owner of CCX 3152 almost 10k in botched repairs and ultimately a blown engine (427 side oiler) due to the missed dianosis. Long story short the car I own was worked on exclusively by Bennett Automotive when it was owned by Rich Smith.
The car developed a short at the regulator / starter selonoid at the primary power source. The ignition worked but had an intermittant short on #2 and #3 cylinder. The higher the rpm the worse it was.
Repairs included $350 compression test, new alterntor, regulator, battery $1000. Carb adjustments (3) at different times $375. Valve adjustment $250, a "new" distributor (a used C3AE was installed) $500. Ultimately the former owner out of frustration and ignorance let the problem go and fragged a 427 side oiler short block which Bennett Automotive replaced witha plain jane 428 for $2800. (short Block)
The problem was still there when I bought the car, it hadn't run right in 5 years and the owner ran out of money to fix it. The whole problem and how I fixed it in about 4 hours including diagnosis is here in the forum.
I have never been to Bennett Automotive. It is likely I won't be going there for anything I will ever need given what I know.
