I'm a little uneasy based on a few reviews I've read of this place due to my experience. I'll…read moreupdate as the situation continues and give fair updates as it is resolved: I took my older 19 ft Chevy G30 van there a month and a half ago. I had my vehicle towed there (it's $600 for each tow) and even spoke to someone there, told them what kind of vehicle and what was wrong and was told to bring it in for an estimate. NOBODY told me it would be $158/hour to diagnose...nobody. I even spoke to the mechanic once it was there, someone at the front desk and there was NO mention of this. I read some of the other reviews and I'm getting the sense they definitely take advantage of people if the situation calls for it. I called twice to get a status with no response or call back in that month and a half worth of time. Finally called yesterday and was put on hold a few times (it seemed they were looking into an issue), then a new service writer told me that he just started three days ago, read the notes that said to just "call owner" and says oh gee that would be $158/hour since it wasn't running (nobody at the get go told me that, nor after or since until now) AND my vehicle has been sitting there for a month and a half or more!? I would have made other plans if I knew this. So then to top it off, I get hung up on (I was completely calm on the phone), call back, leave a message and then eventually connect about an hour later. Now all of a sudden he says that the lead mechanic already did 1.5 of work that I'd be charged for and fixed a switch and got it started but won't stay running and needs more work. The lack of communication in this is absolutely astounding and now how do I trust anything!? All I got was an oops sorry nobody called you and told you how much it would be or even gave you anything in writing or authorized any work!? My family owns a shop farther away and that is completely illegal!! I have no choice now but to have them continue and told them to cut it off at a certain amount of hours. I will update once this situation is complete and fairly if resolved. Now I'm skeptical but if I can't at least get the vehicle running to make it to my house, I will have to get another $600 tow. If they can tell me what's wrong with it, even better. I'm hoping for the best and will update once this is resolved.

I brought my car there to do a radiator and crankshaft seal replacement. It took 1 week to do the…read morejob. I had to call myself and follow up if it was done. When I got the car back my headlights did not work. I went back to let them know and left my car there. They said they would take a look. Another week went by and I had to call again to follow up. They said I would need to take the car to Tidewater Auto Electric because of the wiring. I did a quick Google search and it suggested to check the headlight relay and ballasts. I ordered the parts on Amazon and changed them myself. I am not a mechanic and was able to figure it out. The headlights worked after that. They have a Superman figure displayed there at the register. I guess headlight work is Superman's kryptonite. I would be very cautious of the accountability at this shop.

My Tahoe failed inspection because of a constant brake light, ABS. When I Ask the owner if at any time when the break inspection occurred Could the wire to sensor have accidentally been pinched disconnected, bumped or debris covered the sensor, He replied " are you trying to say we sabotage your sensor?" Immediately I replied ,"no", informed him I was reading from AI review. Then replied , why would you say that. I called you to tind a resolution and your recommendation. I exclaimed, I'm trying to resolve a problem, not be a problem and I came to you because you're the professional. His mannerisms didn't change, did not offer solutions and directed me to go elsewhere. Appalled and frustrated, the call ended. After 10yrs, needless to say, I Will not return to have my truck reinspected nor patron his business. I WILL miss RICK, a mechanic YOU can TRUST.

I also saw that my car did not automatically reset the oil change life. I called and spoke with Brian. He was super helpful, pleasant, and knowledgeable with me. He told me to stop by the next day & they would take care of everything. Well, he sure did. They actually ran out of stickers and he gladly placed one on the windshield for me. He also reset my oil life meter. I had a couple questions about my tires and he took time out to explain what I wanted to know. I'll be taking my vehicle here from now on is an understatement!

A couple of pulleys and a tensioner maybe a hundred bucks. These guys want $1200. $100 of which was their professional diagnostic fee because apparently I need a professional diagnostic to tell me that something fell off the car. That was the whole reason why I brought the car in the first place! They said there were no coupons they could offer to lower the price, but they did take the hundred dollars diagnostic fee off after I complained about the price. A few days later, they decided to email me some coupons for any service which I took as a complete slap in the face.
