I brought my vehicle in because it had an oil leak. I let them know that I was told at another shop…read moreI possibly had a valve cover leaking. The shop diagnosed the issue as a valve cover leak. I approved the repair expecting that it would resolve the problem. However, the car continued leaking oil shortly after the repair. When I brought it back the following week, instead of addressing the original concern, I was given an entirely new diagnosis involving additional repairs that were more than triple the cost of the initial repair. Stating that it was my timing cover and power steering hose that was now leaking. What was frustrating was that none of these potential issues were mentioned during the original diagnosis. If the engine had multiple possible leak sources, I believe that should have been communicated up front so I could make an informed decision before approving the first repair. The lack of clear communication made the experience feel like the problem was not properly diagnosed the first time. I don't mind paying for necessary repairs, but I do expect transparency about potential causes and realistic expectations for whether the initial repair will fully solve the issue. Because of the lack of communication and the way the situation was handled, I no longer feel comfortable returning and will be taking my business elsewhere.

I took my 2002 WS6 Trans Am to Goose UC for repairs to the headlights (not popping up) and window…read moremotor. After an entire week, they finally contacted me to say the car was ready. Upon starting the car, I noticed a significant hesitation. I thought that maybe the battery ran down during repairs and felt it would probably be fine after I drove it a bit. I did that, and then stopped for gas. Upon restart, it happened again. I called the shop, and they said to bring it back. After half an hour on a charger, they told me that the battery wouldn't charge and only had 3% left. I was surprised the car would even start with that little. They were happy to sell me a new battery. Left again, only to notice that the clock was not on. Tried to turn on the stereo, and nothing. Went back. They then examined the car again and stated that there was power to the stereo. Danica offered to diagnose it further for another $149 (diagnostic fee) but said that if the stereo had an internal short, that was not their fault. I told them I was not going to agree to pay for something they damaged, and I needed the car back after not having it for a full week. Their position was that this was all coincidental. Got back in the car and tried the stereo again. This time it made a sickly static noise and a clicking noise in the back of the car when I turned it on. Turned it back off and started to put on my seatbelt. Realized the seatbelt was in the back seat. Upon looking more closely, I saw that the seatbelt ring on the side of the seat had been ripped off and was missing. Went back in and was asked by Trey why I couldn't tell them everything I thought was wrong at once. Wow. Went home and had a little chat with ChatGPT. Asked it if it was appropriate to disconnect the battery for the work that was done, and the answer was 'yes'. I then asked if reconnecting the battery could have damaged the clock and stereo. It said: "During the window motor or headlight repair, there was likely an electrical event (small short, spike, or crossed wire) that damaged the internal electronics of the stereo, and possibly the clock circuitry too." I then told it about the battery being damaged and asked it if it thought that the battery, clock, and stereo being damaged seemed coincidental. Here is the reply: "Given everything you've described so far -- the stereo and clock not working, the static noise, clicking sounds, and now a sudden starting hesitation with a "needs a new battery" diagnosis -- it's very unlikely that this is just a coincidence. It strongly suggests something electrical went wrong during the repair. Here's what might have happened: ________________________________________ 1. Battery Could Have Been Damaged During Reconnection If the mechanic: * Reconnected the battery improperly (e.g., reversed polarity for even a moment), * Created a short while reconnecting, * Or allowed a surge from reconnecting while circuits were still active (ignition on, doors open, etc.), Then yes -- that can cause internal battery damage, especially in older batteries. A dead short can cause a thermal event inside the battery that reduces its ability to hold charge or deliver enough cold cranking amps." I'm guessing the mechanic knows exactly what happened but will never admit it. If you believe that this was all a coincidence, here is what is clearly not a coincidence. 1. I was sent home in a car that was clearly compromised, and this was completely noticeable due to the hesitation upon start-up. 2. Whoever broke the seatbelt loop actually cut it off of the seatbelt, hoping it would not be noticed. This shop caused over $1,000 of damage to my car. It was around $300 for the new battery, and it can be as much as $697 for a refurbished Monsoon stereo system, not including installation. Based on my experience, I would not recommend this shop to anyone. If you have an older car, you might think twice before taking it there. If they damage it, they will take zero responsibility for the damage and then proceed to sell you additional services if you want it fixed.

I asked for a manager and was informed it was Chad himself I was talking to. I would NOT suggest this mechanic.

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 must assume that they are flush with business and don't need anymore work so more power to them. In the meantime I will just have to tow my car to a dealership to get something fixed that should have been relatively easy.
