She has her car towed to Chad Miller Auto Care and calls me to say she needs a new battery and is being quoted $645. I ask her to hand her phone to an employee, and when I asked why this is so expensive the employee raised their voice at me. I asked for a manager and was informed it was Chad himself I was talking to. I would NOT suggest this mechanic. He is unprofessional and perpetuates the negative stereotype of crooked mechanics preying on young women.

So I read good things about this place. From what I read, they seemed like they knew what they were…read moredoing and maybe they do, but of the two vehicles I took there, both over 10 years old and with a variety of problems, they were able to fix some things,but not all. Mine has an oil leak at least 4 different places haven't been able to figure out. Chad's garage gave me some hope, but they were never able to fix it. I take pretty much all "guarantees" with a grain of salt. "Bring it back"...pffft why would I? You couldn't fix it the First time? More likely, I'll just be dumping more money in sonl you can "half fix it" a 2nd time. One mechanic even told my wife to "hit the dash when her A/C wasn't kicking on...AFTER they fixed it. GTFO... Really!? Cost wasn't exactly on the cheap side...maybe fair, but ONLY if they fix the problem. My impression is they had way more cars than they could handle and were trying to rush them outa there. Fair enough, but I will not be taking either of ours back. Fair warning to those that do.

I'll be adding documents shortly but initially I really liked Chris. He seemed like a decent person…read moreat first. I run a small car fleet and we worked out deals for oil services. It was until a few months ago i trusted him to repair my my ls430. It was super expensive but I trusted him. You can do the math, I zelled him an extra $1000 as cashApp wouldn't let me send anymore because the amount of money I was sending him was too much in a short time(together including the zelle transfer i spent over $6000). And my experience has been really awful. After all that money my car's main issues haven't been fixed. He swears that the main issues(camshaft position sensor didn't turn back on until the day I got it back). I don't know what to believe. Some of the money was also for suspension and the suspension I think so far is fine. Lastly he offered to do an engine replacement for $2100 because as he said "felt bad for me". Part of me wanted to say yes, I called him today and wanted to confirm with that it was final price and that I didn't want to pay more. And that until the vehicle was repaired I wanted to keep the yelp review at 3 stars. His answer was that he hung up on me and "didn't want to play games". I feel over charged, and quite honestly betrayed. Anyone that reads this review please make your own judgement. But I hope the texts and the money I paid for speaks for itself. My car now is iffy to drive after his "repairs". Thank you. Update Dec. 4 2025 In response to Chris's comment, I realized he's being extremely deceptive. He claims to be willing to swap my engine for $1200, this is blatantly false. I have evidence that he was going to charge me $2100. Please look at the photos I've uploaded. And as for the meth head comment he posted demonstrates how unhinged this supposedly "professional" mechanic is accusing others of being a meth head is extremely insulting. He lied about only charging me $1200 for the engine swap, he admits he that he couldn't fix my vehicle and still wanted to charge me for his shoddy repair attempt. Please take these things into account for his credibility. He accused me of being cheap, but what kind of cheap person would spend 6k on a car for repairs? I just wanted the repair done correctly and it wasn't. Please keep this in mind, I spent $6,000 for him alone and my car still isn't fixed. I'm a deeply unsatisfied and I feel like I've been taken advantage of. I urge you to look at the photos I've uploaded and make the decision yourself whether his shop is trust worthy.

Well, I want to say that now I can talk since I have my car. This one month nightmare is finally…read moreover. I came to this shop in June. My coworker called a lot of shops, and I went from one side of town to another to try to find out why my car was having issues. She finally settled on this one, which was recommended to her by CD Tires. She spoke to Roy, and he told her he would do a diagnostic for free. That was cool because I had just spent hundreds of dollars on towing and diagnostics. So he said a great price- free. So I took my last $100 and had it towed over there. I'm ashamed to say I'm a Yelp Elite because I did not look this place up like I usually do. I was in a hurry and very desperate. My mom was abused in a nursing home, and my husband had just found out that he had an illness. I needed the car for them and to take myself to work, doctor's appointments, etc. After two weeks, June 25, he tells me what's wrong. I need $3206 to rebuild the transmission. I didn't have it, so he told me to try to get a loan. I tried it, and it didn't go through. I should've stopped there, but I didn't. Uber was piling up, and I needed my car. I tried someone else and still couldn't get the money up. So I tried them and let's just say my car is still doing what it went in for. On the way home, it broke down and wouldn't start without a jump and force. This is after three weeks of them having it! So I took it back the next day and had the mechanic drive it. He scanned it and it was a code. My question is why didn't they catch that when I first brought it in and they said they would do a diagnostic on it? He charged me $3206 to do nothing on the car and when I brought it back because it broke down, he would not give me a full refund and to top it off, one of his workers asked me how much was I selling the car for as I was waiting in the hot sun for a tow truck. This place takes the cake! Zero stars.

I'm aware of dealer service pricing, so I asked AI for service shops with reputations for honesty and integrity, and this place was one of the recommended shops. I made an appointment, which was very easy and quick, and Carlos took it in. He recommended reprogramming it, not replacing, got the problem corrected for about $800. Everything is now running smoothly. In addition he pointed out an issue with my battery connection, and I was able to take my car back to the quick oil change place I use and get them to fix it for free. Communication was very good with ASE throughout, they were very friendly and helpful, and I am very happy with the experience. Would definitely use them again!

Instead of doing the job, they kept his truck sitting in their garage for five months with no results and no accountability. While the truck was in THEIR possession, it was vandalized and a window was broken. The owner personally said he would fix the damage -- and then never did. The truck sat for months with a broken window, exposed to rain, leading to water damage that could have been completely prevented. After taking thousands of dollars, they are now refusing to properly fix the transmission or take responsibility for the damage that happened under their watch. This level of negligence and lack of professionalism is beyond frustrating. Now my brother is being forced to take legal action just to try to recover the money and damages caused while the truck was in their care. If you value your vehicle and your money, think twice before bringing it here.
