I originally visited this shop based on recommendations from long-time customers, and it pains me…read moreto have to write this. I had hoped the situation would be resolved without needing to leave a public review. Unfortunately, after my own experiences, as well as concerns I later heard from others, I cannot in good faith remain silent. My first visit for a standard inspection was positive and professionally documented. I genuinely appreciated the information provided and how it was presented at a reasonable price. However, my second visit for electrical diagnostics raised serious concerns about billing transparency, communication, and professionalism. I am hard of hearing, so clear communication and billing explanations are especially important to me. I was billed for a $50 general inspection plus two separate $145 electrical diagnostic charges without clear explanation beforehand. I agreed to the inspection and one diagnostic charge, not two. My primary concern was a radio intermittently losing power during startup and shifting, which can often indicate a voltage drop or grounding issue. The only documented testing referenced in the report for that concern was a parasitic battery draw test, which showed a normal reading. The note provided stated that these radios commonly fail, but no documentation was provided showing testing of the radio's power supply, ignition feed, or grounding related to the intermittent reset condition. Because the diagnostic explanation was inconclusive, I later performed my own troubleshooting to better understand the issue. Through systematic testing of wiring continuity, ground integrity, and power supply under load, I was able to isolate the fault to a specific failure that was not the radio itself. Additionally, I mentioned at drop-off that I suspected a burned taillight circuit board simply as a courtesy so the shop would be aware of it. I did not request a separate diagnostic for that issue. However, I was billed another $145 diagnostic charge to remove the assembly and confirm the circuit board failure without any prior discussion that this would be treated as a separate diagnostic service. When I asked for clarification regarding the double billing and scope of the diagnostics, the interaction became defensive rather than collaborative, and the concerns were not addressed constructively. Battery system checks are a routine part of most general inspections, which made being charged an additional diagnostic fee for that same testing especially difficult to justify. Paying for professional expertise is expected, but in this case I paid $290 for diagnostics that did not meaningfully address the issue I brought the vehicle in for and included work that I did not clearly authorize as a separate diagnostic service. When billing transparency, technical clarity, and professionalism break down in a customer service industry, it becomes difficult to maintain trust. Based on my experience, I would strongly recommend that customers request clear written confirmation of what each diagnostic charge includes before authorizing work.

The very first…read moretime we took it in for a oil change after we bought it (to the dealer Dewey) they said a shock needs replaced, the engine is leaking oil, battery is testing low, and suggested an alignment since tires are wearing uneven. We purchased a $4000+ warranty with the vehicle but the only item they will cover is the oil leak. Not sure how I feel about the "certified" vehicle any longer. I feel they should have taken care of the shocks within such a short amount of miles driven? Live and learn. On a high note the staff is very nice and friendly. I am hoping the financing/sales team with set this straight with the shock. Seems it is out of the hands of service team. The Expedition is in the shop at this time. They did fix some items on this vehicle a few days after we purchased it after we pointed them out so that was good. Best of luck if you purchase a certified vehicle. I suggest you take it to another shop within 3 months to have everything looked over and catch these things early. We didn't and are now paying the price. Maybe you will have better luck.

When I approved the estimate, they called me to let me know I could bring it in so they could start repairs.
