    Rtv pan gasket

    We came here off of the recommendation of my neighbor hoping to have our jeep repaired. We dropped it off and told them the transmission was leaving a large puddle of transmission fluid (red) on the floor. We were quoted a little over 1000$ to have the leak repaired and a transmission service done off of their recommendation. We got the vehicle home to find it was still leaking. We took it back in to the shop. Later that day we received a phone call saying they would like another 1500 to fix the leak or to just pay another 2500 and they could completely rebuild the transmission. I decided to climb under the jeep to inspect the work they had already done. I found that they used RTV as a pan gasket and charged us for a gasket that was never installed. We also noticed grease hand prints all over the exterior of the vehicle. We decided to just pick up the vehicle and go elsewhere. As we were leaving their mechanic Poncho came outside and confronted us and tried to give us the run around about the situation, this was very unprofessional and did nothing but upset us further.

    Got a fair price and car is shifting well. I would recommend this place for transmission work on your Volvo XC 90s.

He always treats my "baby" like the princess she is and keeps me fully informed on all services as well as what maintenance and or repairs need to be done and when. Highly recommend Christian Brothers in general but THIS store especially!!!

    Update: Their Front Desk Guy Hooked me on a $200 dollar UPsell on my Vintage PU Truck that I had…read morebrought in for 1(one) minor issue involving the PRNDL linkage. Without indicating there was ANY cost involved whatsoever, Front Desk Guy sweetly asked "would you like us to give it a once-over?" Which, since I was at that time a regular customer, I THOUGHT that meant just give it a safety-check out of courtesy to a repeat, publicly complimentary, senior-citizen client that they maybe cared for! How wrong I was. After having it several days, they tell me that they can't fix the original problem because they "Couldn't find the part - and wouldn't install an after-market part off of Ebay" (My car is a 1999 w/ low mileage) Then the real Clinker after 3 days: They call and say, "We couldn't fix your problem, but come and get your truck and pay Christian Bro's nearly $200 bucks for a "diagnostic" that I WAS NOT INFORMED UP FRONT would cost anything at all! But also, this 'Diagnostic' informs me that my truck needs OVER $4300 DOLLARS in servicings and repairs - Including NEW BRAKES that, apparently the "Diagnostic expert" wasn't aware had been replaced by them on that very truck a few months earlier! I felt totally taken advantage of and complained to the manager, John, who gave me some "yada yada" and stated that that particular employee working the front desk was fired - However, and this is the whole point of the story - This manager of this multi-million dollar, allegedly 'Christian', gold-mine on the corner of Thunderbird & 75th Ave would NOT refund all, or any part, of this deceitful charge with a humble apology for their unscrupulous employee (note: Failure to disclose a COST right up front is a LIE ) Not only that, but Upsell #1 opened the door for MEGA-UPSELL #2 of $4,319 dollars! I STILL look back at this lengthy report with shock and awe. According to this diagnostic that I didn't ask for, there's no reason, whatsoever, my truck is still able to roll down the street. According to them, practically EVERYTHING on my vehicle is on it's last couple of miles.; Lastly, and final insult to my patronage, my age, my intelligence, nor would Christian Brothers even offer a discount or a half-off on the next visit to them. You know, a way of saying, "We still want your business". I think they saw a senior-woman and saw a dumb sucker ready to be plucked out of the stream of suckers. In that lone experience, I learned Christian Brothers is all about "Show me the $ MONEY $" They are only after the money, and customer retention is completely moot. They could care LESS if you are a returning customer. I am no longer using Christian Brothers for any auto repair needs. If anyone knows of an HONEST, caring, competent auto mechanic around Peoria/Glendale please be so kind as to DM me. I'm shopping for one. **I tried to scan & copy the actual Invoice from this incident, but for some technological mystery beyond me - I couldn't get this file search in Yelp to access where I am sure I put the two files.**

It's shady & annoying! Provided my vehicle's year, make , model, full synthetic to the main contact person at Take 5 -- was advised w/$25 coupon available, TOTAL cost would be $60.99 + tax. I confirmed twice... "as long as you opt out of add-ons." At location, it begins... provided menu of oil change only options: Economy, Core, Complete, Ulitmate.

My fault for allowing the car to be overdue for service, and must complete on a Sunday - very limited options. 20 mins later-- getting the Core (cheapest 0/30W) , use of the suggested $25 coupon, and after declining the $ 24.99 single windshield wiper ((singular) buy one get one something- ) , cabin air filter (not needed, I saw it), no other fluids needed ( but thanks for checking), oil change only - TOTAL $89.13 Would likely return if I was told the total was $80 + taxes (and not offered BS coupon) when I called.

He told me he was busy and would call me. 1 week later, I called him, he apologized and said he would call me next week for sure. Never did, I called again, reminded him, he came by referral and asked if he wanted my business. He apologized again, then booked me for a Monday appointment right away. Since he came by referral, I trusted him and told him money was no object. My truck has been meticulously taken care of since new. My last mechanic worked for me for 20 years before retiring to another State, (I so miss his integrity). I provided Jim with all the maintenance records / history, including the issues written out in hardcopy. I had 2 main issues and some enhancements I planned for later. The rear brake drums appeared to be out of round but working good and a misfire, stuttery acceleration issue between 1000rpm - 2000rpm. He kept the truck for 1 week. He charged me $800 to turn the rear drums, add new shoes, new cylinders, fresh fluid. But he did not check the front breaks. He then replaced the, (not old) spark plugs because he didn't like the brand and adjusted the timing. Evidently, they never took my truck for a test drive before or after. The breaks still have an out of round, stopping issue, (not as bad). And there is no change in the stuttery acceleration between 1k-2k. SO, I received $200 in parts that I potentially didn't need and $600 in labor costs that did not resolve the issues I brought the truck in for. I really feel taken advantage of by Jim Kane and will NEVER go back there! "Fool me once shame on you" Never again, Honest.

I was refered to Kane's Automotive and was pleasantly surprised by their professionalism. The techs at Kane's went above and beyond: pressed out the old wheel bearing race, cleaned up scratches from my removal attempts, pressed in the new one & even put in the seals. It was all done within 45 mins of dropping it off & cheaper than what Pep Tards wanted to charge, of they would have done it. Thank god for Kane's, I'll definiately have the do allmy automotive machine shop work; highly recommend these guy!
