Dishonest Pricing & Unprofessional Service…read more I recently had a very disappointing experience with this shop. I called ahead for a quote to program and relearn the transmission control module (TCM) on my 2010 GM vehicle. Josh quoted me $250 over the phone, and that was the reason I chose this shop instead of the dealership. I dropped my car off after hours, left a detailed note, and even provided extra transmission fluid and coolant just in case. The next day, I didn't get a call with any updates, so I called around 4:40 PM--they hadn't even checked the car in yet. They finally finished the following day and called me to pick it up. When I arrived, the bill was $389, not the $250 I was quoted. When I questioned the price, I was told the extra charges were for topping off half a quart of transmission fluid (which I provided) and test-driving the vehicle. At no point was I called or asked to approve additional charges. Josh even confirmed in front of the manager/owner that he quoted me $250, but the manager refused to honor the quote and was extremely rude and combative about it. After arguing, he reduced the bill to $317.50, which still felt dishonest. To make matters worse, the vehicle still doesn't shift properly, which makes me question the quality of the work done. This entire experience felt unprofessional and unethical. If you want transparency, communication, and accountability, I strongly recommend going elsewhere--even if it costs a little more.

After much deliberation and calling around to various shops in the area, I took my Jeep here to…read morehave my differential gears changed out. Their quote was the best one I got and worth the hour or so drive down to Fredericksburg. I provided my own parts, and even then other shops were happy to quote me almost double what Trans Tech did, and one shop even flat out said they would not use my parts (brand new). They got the work done in 2.5 days. I dropped the Jeep off on Sunday and had it back on Thursday (although it was done on Wednesday). Long story short, these guys are honest and know what they're doing. Their labor estimates are very reasonable. If I have any differential or transmission-related work that needs to be done in the future (outside of fluid/oil changes that I can do myself) I will be back.

I would highly recommend another place for car maintenance or issues. Look, if someone makes it that perfect for y'all, take advantage of it and try to make some customers happy, not make them wait two days for their car.

A HIDDEN GEM IN STAFFORD... NO SIGN. NO ADVERTISING AND NO PROBLEMS!…read more So about two years ago I was referred to Cecil the owner/mechanic at Aruka. His price for a timing belt on my 2003 was about 65% lower than everyone else. He recommended I do the water pump at the same time.. gave me a list of items I would need and allowed me the option to supply my own parts. He completed the job in half a day as promised and all was well. A month or so later my OTHER vehicle was having an issue with the heater not blowing very hot. I it it off for a few weeks as it wasn't that cold and the year before my previous mechanic quoted me a heat element and a relay of sorts.. but I didn't do it then as it was the end of the season. Then on the way home one night the car temp needed started climbing into the red so I pulled over waited for the car to cool down.. checked the radiator and found it full and green. My thoughts... water pump or hopefully the lesser cost thermostat. I dropped the car at Aruka and an hour later he told me it was the lower radiator and recommended a replacement. CHEAP in comparison to other quotes I got around. He also told me the two problems were most likely related... and they wer e. One repair and the heat was blowing and the car was cooling. Now he was a trusted advisor... So a few months later I went to check the oil on my third vehicle and found the upper radiator hose collapsed flat. So I went to the parts store and got a new hose thinking that is the issue... old hose and two clamps later I was done... on my to find the new hose collapsed the next day. I asked the counter folks at the parts store and they thought thermostat or water pump. But I called Cecil to confirm and sight unseen he said.. radiator cap.. $9. And done. He was right. Recently he rewired my utility trailer and was able to fix a ground problem I have been trying to correct since 2005. He also rewired my van hitch relay when no other mechanic wanted to touch it... also finding a hidden fuse in the link I would have never known to look for otherwise. Bottom line... this guy has no sign on his shop, doesn't advertise, but is always busy enough, but not so busy that he can't get it done in a day. He stays later when he has too so you don't have to. Heck one time I couldn't get back to town until after 9pm and he told me not to worry about it and he would send me a bill. WHAT.. Trust the customer?! I know he probably would not want to spend the day with my kids.. but I trust him enough in every level... even with my kids. Of recent he completed a timing, a tune up, and a brake job... all at reasonable pricing and without issue. Need a mechanic you can REALLY TRUST? Look no further... but know that his shop is hidden behind Mercer Trucking in the same property... no sign, no fan fair, no waiting room or coffee... but a great service experience with positive results. Look no further... go to Aruka and say Hi to Cecil.
