In March 2023, I brought my Lexus RX 350 to this shop for a transmission fluid service. The…read moretechnician noted the presence of metal shavings in the pan on the invoice, and instead of following OEM specifications and using Toyota WS-compatible fluid, the shop installed Kendall VersaTrans CVT+. I later reviewed the product specifications and contacted Kendall's own technical support team directly. Their team confirmed that while VersaTrans CVT+ may be used where Toyota WS is specified, their *recommended* product for WS applications is Kendall VersaTrans LV ATF, not CVT+. Their data sheet confirms this. When I brought this to the shop's attention, attaching official data sheets, Kendall's response email, and compatibility concerns, they refused to acknowledge any wrongdoing. Their responses were consistently short, dismissive, and unprofessional. I received multiple replies with no greeting, no name, and no attempt to address the core issue. Instead of discussing solutions (which I offered several times, including a fluid replacement or partial refund), they repeatedly deflected and eventually stopped engaging altogether. Despite the shop stating in their own records that metal shavings were present, a clear indication of wear, they opted to use a non-recommended fluid. Over the next 2.5 years, the vehicle accumulated only ~9,200 miles, but the transmission continued to degrade, likely accelerated by the mismatch in fluid. This review is not based on emotion. I've provided documentation, OEM specifications, and direct confirmation from the fluid manufacturer. The shop's refusal to admit a mistake or even engage in a basic conversation about resolution speaks volumes about their customer service standards and technical judgment. I cannot recommend this shop to anyone seeking careful, OEM-spec service or professional accountability. If something goes wrong, don't expect them to help, or even call you by name.

I was a loyal customer for almost 2 years.  I value communication…read more I had an appointment on the Tuesday before the 4th of July for my 2009 Chevy Malibu because my engine light was on.  I dropped if off at 8:45 am and was told in 2-1/2 hours we should know the problem.  In short no one called.  Wednesday I called at 11:30 am and left a message, and at 4:50 pm I called and my call was dropped.  On Thursday morning I called them at 8:18 am and was told "our goal is to have an answer by this afternoon".  No one called, no one returned my calls, and no one answered my calls.  They were closing for the 4th of July holiday for 3 days and no one would get back to me.  They had my car for 3 whole workdays, and they had it for the 3 days they were closed.  When they opened on that Monday following the holiday weekend, I walked in their lobby at 8:45 am and took my car back with only their diagnostic.  I took my car to a different mechanic, and it only took 1-1/2 hours to get a written diagnostic and a plan to have repairs done to my car. I ask you....  What were they doing with my car for 3 workdays, and why did they not give me an option to have it back for the holiday weekend before their 3-day closure? Excuses of we are very busy, and we are having problems with the "WIFI" dropping our calls, just do not make for good customer confidence.

Engine light was on and intermittently flashing, which is not good news. Got a recommendation to call Dylan and I'm sure glad I did. Though he had lots going on, he came to my current location, knowing that I was pretty much stuck. He worked hard and diligently on my van systematically working through a diagnostic process as the OCD did not give a definitive direction. While we could not figure it out on the spot, I left it with him while I rented a car to get home. That evening, after hours, he had some ideas and returned to work on it and it worked. What a dedicated, diligent and nice person. So refreshing to find someone so dedicated to his craft and committed to helping us out. Great guy, great work, and reasonable cost. I highly recommend the Driveway Doctor for any an all automotive work.

The staff at BOR were very receptive and responsive to my needs and arranged to replace my converters. Unfortunately, after all their hard work my check engine light came back. It turns out that when BOR discussed my repair options I opted for the cheap route and asked them to buy aftermarket converters. When I came back they found an exhaust leak and fixed that, and the light came back a second time I relented and asked them to get OEM converters. The OEM converters fixed the problem and my pickup is running great again! I have nothing but praise for how BOR worked with me, accommodated all my choices, and bent over backwards to help me get my truck working.

Better Off-Road? More Like Better Off Somewhere Else…read more I brought my 2002 Suburban Z71 to Better Off-Road with a clear, detailed diagnostic summary--11 specific issues, complete with history, symptoms, and codes. I gave them every benefit of the doubt. What I got in return was a $10,000 engine replacement estimate and a lazy guess. After eight full days of silence, they finally looked at the truck and performed a basic compression test. They found low readings on two cylinders and immediately recommended a full engine swap. No leak-down test. No spark plug inspection. No timing verification. Just a vague shrug and a five-figure solution. Here's the kicker: * They performed the wrong test first * Then charged again to do the right one * That's double billing for diagnostic failure A leak-down test is the industry standard when compression is low--it tells you why it's low. They didn't perform one until I hounded them. That's not oversight. That's negligence. When I finally arranged a tow to get it out of there on October 22, they refused to release the vehicle until I paid. Fair enough--but their phones were "offline for two days," yet their voicemail worked. Convenient. Then they charged me a 3% fee for using a Visa card. That's not standard. That's gouging. The technician who texted me couldn't write a coherent sentence. His diagnosis read like a fifth-grade book report. I wouldn't trust this shop to change a bicycle tire, let alone diagnose a complex engine issue. Bottom line: * They ignored a detailed diagnostic roadmap * They charged for incomplete diagnostics * They double-billed for doing it right * They stalled communication for eight days * They misrepresented fees * They showed zero professionalism I paid the bill because I honor my commitments. But they didn't honor theirs. I'll never go back--and I hope no one else does either. --David W. Klieman
