  I've bought two Jeeps at High Octane. I guess it's a good place to buy used Jeeps, however they don't pay attention or care if their vehicles are in good working condition.
  
  The first Jeep I bought was in great condition, and I haven't had a single issue with it. I was so happy that I went back the next time I needed a vehicle.
  
  I test drove one with a blown wheel bearing and they were oblivious until I told them. This should have been a warning sign. Unfortunately the second Jeep I bought had major issues. Within two days of buying it, it started leaking coolant and overheating leaving my wife and 2 kids stranded on the side of the road. I took it back to High Octane and they said it was the water pump. They replaced this for $100.
  
  A couple days later the upper radiator hose exploded and the vehicle blew a head gasket. Again stranding my wife and kids and putting them in serious danger. I took it back to High Octane again (like an idiot) and they replaced the head gasket. This took them 3 times as long as they originally said (3 weeks vs. 1 week), though they did give me a break on the price. However the discount they gave me was dwarfed by the cost of renting a car for 3 weeks while they serviced the vehicles of customers who were paying full price.
  
  This still did not fix the problem. A couple of days after getting the vehicle back again it began to overheat again. I pulled off the road, let it cool off and took it to another mechanic. Turns out the real issue was the radiator fan module. This $10 part was the problem all along, and is apparently a very common issue with Jeeps.
  
  Do not take your Jeep here for service. Hopefully you can learn from my mistakes and and understand that they do decent repair work, but without thinking about the interaction of all of the vehicles components. Simply being able to do a repair without asking why/how it needed to be repaired is not the sign of a master mechanic, much less an expert on Jeeps.
