It's hard enough to find a machine shop, much less one with with helpful friendly people. I needed work done to an engine block and Steve in the machine shop was awesome, didn't lie to me, sell me anything I didn't need, and he even went out of his way make sure I got the parts I needed. I paid the price I was quoted and the rest of the staff was very helpful, my uncle and I discussed on the way out "it feels like those guys know what they are talking about, that is so rare in a parts store" and it's too true, I'll be coming back to this place for sure. read more

Online ordering is a breeze... and quite helpful when I'm in a hurry. The counters are nice and clean too. It's interesting that I can spend a few bucks ordering online at O'Reilly's, go there, and the employees are nice... they hand me the bag, and off I go. I online order over $1,000 at Best Buy in Oswego, and they act so unappreciative with an attitude when I get my pre-ordered items...

I will never return to this location, or maybe even to an O'Reilly's altogether if this is the low standard they have for their employees.

On Friday Oct 11 I called and asked if they would turn 4 rotors for me on Sat. They told me yes. I brought the rotors in at 8am as they suggested. The gentlemen behind the counter told me NO. They would not be able to turn them. I explained to them I called earlier, was told they would and how I need them. When I returned later they were UGLY. "That will be $90." Inner surface not cleaned for a good seat on the lathe (produce runout), EVERY rotor had LOTS of rust remaining. I asked for a micrometer and measured them. The front were still .050 from min while the rears were .030 from min. WHY DID THEY WASTE MY TIME AND PRODUCE JUNK? Now I was faced with waiting for 2 more days until the rotors would be available. Guess they taught me never to have rotors turned. I went elsewhere to buy new rotors.

I called my mechanic the next day as soon as he opened, but he was booked and wouldn't be available for about a week, so he recommended Dad & Mom Mufflers. I called and spoke to Brian, who told me he would look at it if I dropped it off and may be able to get to it that day, early the next day at the latest. I received a call from Betty 3 hours later and was told that they found the issue and they would be able to address it right away. The issue was much smaller than stated by the other shop. My car was finished an hour after that call and they did a fantastic job. Their great service and honesty was appreciated and now have customer for life.

They said they had taken it out for a test drive to see if they could figure out a noise the car was making. Another hour and a half later, close to closing time, they called to tell us that while driving our car the 20 or so feet from their work bay to a parking spot, our car's ENGINE HAD SEIZED UP AND WAS NON-FUNCTIONAL. They tried to play it off like it wasn't their fault and said they'd "help us" by finding a used engine at a junkyard (of equal mileage, approx 77K) and installing it. Took them about a month to do so. They gave us a 6 month warranty on the "junkyard" engine and free oil changes. Needless to say, they screwed us. Our car now reads 88K miles EVERY time we check the mileage on a mechanics machine, our air conditioning was never charged on the new engine, our spark plugs are crap, and our alternator needs to be replaced. Basically, they managed to render our car useless/destroyed during a SIMPLE OIL CHANGE. Andrew, the manager, said he would "help us out"... the car is now worth nothing for a trade-in because of their BS. My husband is a nice guy who had recently been through a bypass operation, and Andrew and the owner took advantage of his being nice and not one to make a fuss. DO NOT TRUST this place, DO NOT patronize them! I don't know how they did it, but they seized up our engine and destroyed our vehicle without a real care in the world about what they had done. My husband and I BOTH FEEL USED AND ABUSED. We own the car, and now our property is basically useless for driving or a trade-in. An oil change at this Merlin might seem like a good deal, and cheaper than a dealership would charge, but it's NOT WORTH IT. If they screw up your car during a simple oil change and seize the engine, they WON'T "make it right". They'll "fix" it as cheaply as they can and leave you screwed. STAY AWAY FROM THIS MERLIN AT ALL COSTS!!!
