It was going to cost $12k. I've used Leibrand's in the past and knew they'd give me honest answers. They fixed the cracked head for 1/3 the price of the other shop. They were great and communicated everything I needed. They gave me 3 options to fix it along with reasonable quotes. Since I'm retired and on a fixed income, I chose the cheapest route. They fixed it but I had a related issue that showed up after driving it about 10 miles. I took the car back and left it after-hours along with a phone message explaining the problem. They called the following morning and told me what they found, fixed it and to come get it, no charge. While I may have experienced some inconvenience, I considered it minor and was treated courteously with the utmost respect. I have to say, their technicians are professional and the one who worked on my car explained what he discovered and showed me the part that failed and what I needed to do next, maintenance-wise. The work bays are the cleanest of any shop I've ever seen. I highly recommend Leibrand's, you won't regret it.

I brought my Hyundai in to this shop after my car began stalling and showing multiple engine codes…read more From the start, everything was running smoothly. What I was told would be two day repair for my timing chain turned into a month-long experience with my car sitting in the shop. Communication was inconsistent at times, and I often felt in the dark about what was really happening. The shop initially quoted me around $2,600, then revised it to $4100 and offered a $800 discount. The total ended up at $3,908. During the repair, I was told that my dowel pin had broken in the camshaft, which required additional work. I receive a text message saying my car was ready for pickup. I came paid my balance in full. Less than a hundred feet of leaving out the parking lot my check engine light was back on and problem still existed. Im thankful I caught it in time because it was a Friday and they are closed on weekends. So it would have been my word against there's when it came time with correcting the problem. When I arrived for pickup today, the shop stated they waived an additional $800 fee for a solenoid recalibration/replacement that was directly related to the timing chain work they had just performed. I feel strongly that this should have been included in the original service and not presented as an "extra" charge after I had already paid. To their credit, I really appreciated the friendliness of the two administrative assistants, who went above and beyond to help me. They provided me with a shuttle ride home when I dropped off my car, even paid for me an Uber to pick up the loaner vehicle, and made sure I had a loaner car for the month while mine was being repaired. Those accommodations meant a lot during a very long process. The shop also test drove my car for 40+ minutes before releasing it, and the check engine light has not come back on yet. I appreciate that they ultimately covered the $800 charge, but overall the experience left me questioning trust, timelines, and transparency. If you use this shop, know that while they will work with you and provide support, you'll need to ask a lot of questions, push back on extra fees, and keep good records. The repair seems to be holding for now, but the process was much more difficult and drawn out than it should have been.

I would have rather they were honest with me and said they were overwhelmed with work at this time. Towed a car in there and towed it out. They changed the oil and the gas cap.

Exact Performance wanted to change out the timing belt, but I'm not sure that would have fixed it. The car was having issues that didn't quite align with timing chain problems. It was a waste of time. Spend your money elsewhere.

I was definitely taking a chance with Exact and here is my experience: First Impressions: My brother recommended Exact when I was shopping around for brake repair a couple years ago. The shop is located on Johnson Drive, next to a new car wash. We dropped my car off right around 8:30. The shop is easy to miss if you aren't paying attention. Dillon was very welcoming and he confirmed what services I needed. The shop was nice and clean and Dillon was very organized. Communication: I appreciated the phone call before any service was done to my car. They allowed us time to decide what we wanted to do before continuing and Dillon was very understanding. He wasn't pushy like the dealerships and I didn't feel pressured to make any decisions. The price is nice: I did not get tires, as they were more expensive than I thought, but for an oil change and front brakes, my bill was a little over $200. Their prices on timing belt replacement and other maintenance work was way cheaper than the Acura dealership, which is impressive. Overall: I will be back. The pricing alone was it for me. Acura quoted me well over a grand for maintenance work, new tires, and brakes on my car. Dillon's prices were half of that, which I can handle. They do specialize in imports, so keep that in mind. The only down side was their tire prices, which are about the same amount as the dealer. I also appreciated the customer service and how genuine Dillon was.

I had a number in my head after looking at parts on eBay for what would be a fair price with labor and having a fallback in case things leaked the next time I go to wash this in the touch less car wash thing (which is soon with the upcoming snow, gotta get that undercarriage good). Mike met that number, took care of it extremely quickly and effectively, and was a super nice person to deal with. Thanks very much. Also, dogs in the office. A huge plus for me. He didn't let them run at me or even out of the back office. I honestly wouldn't have minded, I really like dogs, but I can see how this would be a scare for some. Socializing dogs is a good thing. You rather he leave them home all day?. Overall 10/10 would rather not Mike again because that means something bad happened to my car, but will come back if the dings/ dents are a thing again. If your options are dealership or Mike, choose local. Choose Mike.

DO NOT GO TO SMETHERS AUTO!!!! THIS MAN IS ROBBING YOU!!!!! HE IS A CROOK!!…read more If Yelp had zero star ratings that's what I would give this. So I have a old vehicle it begins to stop when it's driving the fuel pump is bad on it so I was highly recommended to Ed. I was told that he could fix my vehicle for a cheaper price most mechanics would charge. Ed also knew about this vehicle. I called him up and talked to him about the fuel pump situation and how much it would cost for everything.He told me that he doesn't want to work on my old pickup and that he usually doesn't work on older vehicles. Later I looked on his facebook page and most the posts are older vehicles actually ones older than mine. I told him that all you have to do is check the fuel pressure. He said well that might not fix the problem and that he couldn't guarantee that was the problem. For a mechanic to not be curtain on things like that then that tells me that they have poor business and that they aren't trustworthy. I don't want a mechanic that is trash to fix my car so he can rip me off and mess more things up on it. I would never take my car to this man!! To be honest If he was the last mechanic on earth I wouldn't take my car to him. He is very rude and was disrespectful I treated him with kindness and respect and he was disrespectful! The vehicle was on his property and I told him that I will probably get it tonight he then responded "no probably to it get it off my property!!" He then began to tell me that I bought a money pit that if we took it to him that he would replace part after part. He also told me that he doesn't want to do business with me because I haven't known him for a long time and that he doesn't want to be the "bad guy". I've talked to many mechanics and every mechanic I have talked to has always wanted a new customer. When I was talking to him he seemed very sketchy very rude and disrespectful the old man is not getting my business and never will. I have read the reviews about this auto shop I understand he is highly rated but I'm sorry to tell you guys this but this old man is ripping you off. He is called a parts replacer all he does is replaces your parts for you and then a month or so later you're gonna have more problems with your vehicle. I would recommend going to someone that knows what they are doing and not a crook like him.
