    I was sent to Brown's motor works by Land Rover because they did not have an opening til November 30. I went BMW on clemson road. Trent was the Csr up front taking info on oct 5,23... I scheduled to bring my truck on oct 12. I informed Trent this was my only means of transportation, he assured me truck would be done by Friday. They had my truck all day Thursday and all day Friday. The communication was thru text and I was calling all day on oct 13, I missed work and had to Uber. I was never offered a loaner and when I was told by Land Rover they give Loaners. when I brought this to Trent attention he stated he had no loaners at either location. So now I was without my truck not fixed and I had to rent a car for entire week $402. Per Trent they are going to take care me. And he's working on car rental reimbursement. He states my oil change and diagnostic would be no charge. When he sent the estimate today 10/16/23 it was $1200. i guess he thought I am stupid because I'm a female. I screen shot my first estimate for oil change and diagnostic and that alone was $440. I looked up the parts from 3 parts stores online and my parts came to roughly $530. the estimate trent sent me was showing he was charging me for 3 parts only. 1. $410.40 remove replace oil vent separator 2. $629.93 engine crankcase vent valve and 3. Timing plug $68. 4. Job supplies $107.28. Total with tax $1280.03. My search engine crankcase vent valve LR110464. $198.17, oil/air sep Land Rover LR025615 $94.69, timing plug tool kit $219.95. Those 3 parts from 4 different part stores total $512.81 and these are the actual parts no generics. So let's add up my parts $512.81, oil change $190 and diagnostic $220 (suppose to be free per me estimate) total$922.81 + 8% tax (73.82)=$996.63! Let's add the difference from my grand total and their total and that is the labor $283.40. So please tell me what the fuck they gavee free. how did they look out for me. I lost a day of work, and i'm out $400 for my rental! Brown Motors is a big rip off when it comes to service. and the customer service. I've asked to speak to a manager and yet has not gotten one. just because I'm a female doesn't mean I Dnt know anything. I will be writing the attorney general office because they did not honor one thing they said. And Trent did not mention a loaner at all today. DO NOT TAKE YOUR VEHICLE HERE. IF LANDROVER COUD HAVE GOTTEN ME IN I PREFER THEM, their customer service is outstanding and they do take care of you when giving a discount if they have to take longer than expected. THE OWNER IS A CHEAT! this was such a horrific and horrible experience, I'm definitely trading this land rover off in december. if Land Rover and Brown Motors are the only places to fix Land Rover it's not worth the hassle. STAY AWAY FROM BROWN MOTORS ON CLEMSON RD. You can thank me later! Anjunette G.

    How much is a B2 service on a 2012 Mercedes C250?

    It’s $499 plus tax. We have availability Tuesday through Thursday of this coming week to perform that service. Would you like to schedule an appointment?

    How much is a Motor Block on 2003 Hyundai? I"ve been given as igh as $150. I know labor is high but as a Senior lady I'm tried of getting ripped off.

    I’m not sure I understand your request. Are you in need of an engine replacement?

They will charge you for coming out and doing more damage to your car. They don't know how to fix anything and will not give you a refund after ruining your car. They break things They don't know how to fix. Highly suggest finding a different mechanic than throwing away money at this one.

    Would not recommend. I purchased a starter and had this company come out to replace. They claim…read morethat they recommended at my appointment a diagnostic to my partner which was not true. They only offered a diagnostic after they replaced the starter and stated it was the battery. When they finished the replacement they told us to replace the battery, which we did, but the car continued to not turn over after multiple attempts. My partner took the car to another mechanic in town to see what else could be wrong. Mechanic in town stated that whoever put the starter in put it in incorrectly, they cross threaded the starter, and now the part is no longer useful. When I reached out to the company for a refund regarding the service they kept stating they offered a diagnostic, which again was not true, and they blamed the part and not the individual preforming the service. They basically only offered to charge me more for coming out again to check their own work, only offering to waive appointment fee. Again I would not recommend this company

    We took our vehicle to this shop because our usual mechanic doesn't handle hybrid-related work, and…read moreunfortunately, this turned into a frustrating experience. After testing and finding the parts the estimate became much larger, but it had to be fixed. After getting the vehicle back we had issues again and took it back because it was under warranty. They initially replaced a cooling system hose, but we later found out that the brand new hose they installed had a pinhole leak. That alone raises concerns about the quality of parts they're using and their inspection process before returning a vehicle. Well, this of course was not covered. When we picked the car up...the 2nd time, the check engine light was on -- which it absolutely was NOT when we dropped it off. They told us the issue was an intermittent misfire and suggested additional diagnostic testing for over $400, followed by more charges for fuel injection cleaning and possibly even deeper engine work. It felt like they were stacking on expensive "next steps" without a clear diagnosis. Something didn't sit right, so we brought the car to our regular shop since this was no longer a "hybrid" issue. Within a short time, they found the real issue: a smashed spark plug -- and not even the same brand as the others that had all been replaced by me personally just six months ago. That's extremely concerning and points to careless or sloppy workmanship or sadly sabotage. Between installing a faulty hose, returning my car with a new warning light, and missing (or possibly causing) a very obvious issue, I've completely lost confidence in this shop. Familiarize yourself with your vehicle and exercise caution. Sadly, many are out to profit, even at your expense.

    Only talked to them but they did help and pointed me in the right direction to get my truck fixed…read more Thanks so much!

I needed…read moreto get my transmission fluid and filter replaced for my warranty, it was a mistake on my part I did not catch the due mileage in time and went over a bit. I do get my oil changed every 3000 miles when warranty requires 5000 because I do take care of my truck, too expensive not too. Well they said they would "misread" my mileage so it would keep my warranty valid. I dropped by on Monday to make sure my truck would be services on Friday as it was when they could schedule me in, they did not tell me they would accommodate my request then or at our first conversation either. Picked it up on Friday and the counter guy said he could not change the milage because it was wrong to do so. But lying to me that he would is quite acceptable in his mind apparently. The owner came over and started telling me about its a battle repeatedly until I told him we are not in a battle we have a disagreement that's all. He raised his voice and kept telling in about its a battle in business and I don't understand and kept ranting on and on. I told him it was ultimately my fault because I missed the milage but I would have gone somewhere else that would done my request. If I wasn't able to find another company I would have just done it myself because it would be out of warranty anyway and save myself $660 which was my bill, pretty excessive actually.

They just said it was getting older and just makes noise. Newman's figured out what the noise was and fixed it. We also had them put on new Shocks, Struts and new headlight assemblies.

When you've traveled in the military, it's hard to find a trustworthy local mechanic...problem solved. I will definitely be back!
