This article will go into detail about the very bad car repair experience my wife and myself endured with Chad Russell the owner operator at Aamco auto car repair 2856 Clark Rd Sarasota Fl 34231 with phone number 941-877-5252. If you've experienced faulty or poor work from any auto repair shop in Sarasota or elsewhere in Florida, you can file a complaint with the Florida Department of Agriculture & Consumer Services (FDACS), potentially sue for breach of contract or negligence, and seek guidance from resources like the Better Business Bureau (BBB).

On Tuesday morn Jan 14th, 2025 I contacted Chad Russell at Aamco 2856 Clark Rd Sarasota Fl to get an estimate to find out why check engine light is on, to stop some oil leaks and to look at the power steering which is not working correctly on my BMW Z3, my wife followed me down to Aamco to leave the car. Upon arrival at Aamco on Clark Rd Sarasota I spoke with Chad Russell the owner and asked him if he can do work on my BMW Z3, he assured me he could, I left the car and my wife drove me home. IT WENT DOWNHILL FAST FROM HERE!

If the drive shaft in a BMW Z3 were to break on a highway at high speed, the car would lose power to the wheels on that side. The driver would likely hear loud clunking or grinding noises and feel a loss of control. The car would slow down and potentially stop due to the lack of power and the broken shaft dragging on the road. If the drive shaft on my BMW Z3 had snapped off on I-75 at high speed there would have been a multi car chain reaction accident with multiple injuries, even death, due to ineptness of the mechanic at Aamco on Clark Rd Sarasota Fl.
Here's a more detailed breakdown: Loss of Power: The primary consequence is a loss of power to the wheels driven by the broken shaft.
Loud Noises: You'll likely hear loud clunking or grinding sounds as the shaft breaks and potentially drags on the road.
Loss of Control: A broken drive shaft can make steering and controlling the vehicle difficult, especially if the break is sudden and violent.
Vehicle Slows Down: The car will slow down as the engine is no longer able to deliver power to the wheels.
Potential Dragging: The broken shaft might drag on the road, creating sparks and potential damage to other parts of the vehicle.
Safety: The driver should take their foot off the gas, put the car in neutral, and then carefully reduce speed and steer to a safe location.
Call for Tow: It is unsafe to drive a vehicle with a broken drive shaft, so a tow truck should be called to transport the car to a repair shop.
In summary, a broken drive shaft will cause a sudden loss of power, potentially dangerous noises, and a significant decrease in the car's ability to move and control. The driver should focus on safely slowing down and stopping the vehicle before calling for assistance.
