I went to Jaeckels Automotive after my daughter getting some outlandish diagnosis from a…read moredealership. They said brakes were dangerously in need of replacement and catalytic converter was 'trending down' and would need replacement. Jaeckels inspected the vehicle and reported that the brakes had at 20k before they even needed to be looked at and, as I suspected, the catalytic converter was fine and you can't test them to rate as trending down. I appreciated the honesty and the integrity to give the facts when we would have been accepting of brake jobs and been unaware they were not needed now. The dealership put my daughter in a state of fear because they said the brakes were so bad they were unsafe. She even postponed a trip until we could get them taken care of. Jaeckels has earned my future business and my respect for their business practice. I recommend Jaeckels without hesitation.

We've been having quite a few issues with our van, and usually we would go to Santa Maria to get it…read morefixed but our van was not in the best condition to drive to SM so a friend of ours recommended this place and, oh my goodness, it was worth it. We got skeptical as we met Jose as he started naming off so many issues but he wasn't just saying what was wrong, but rather he showed us every single thing wrong with the car. I was very impressed and happy, he had us go under the car and look at the issues, he had diagrams to show how the car works, and he did his best to make sure we were not spending so much money. He was so kind, considerate and very funny. My mom and I were very pleased, unfortunately our van was more of a lost cause, but he had gave us very helpful alternatives to keep our van still going so that we're not spending so much money on a brand new engine. Jose is amazing, he listens, and does his best not to scam customers. Definitely would recommend going to him if your car is having issues, he's thorough and very understanding.

Stowasser could not do much to diagnose the problem beyond replacing the 12 volt repeatedly. It took GMC corporate handholding them on how to swap a traction battery. They made it abundantly clear they don't want to work on EV's at this MAGA operation. STAY. AWAY. When I got my truck back, not only was the software not updated to the latest release which I was assured would be done by Jose, but they returned my truck in non operation condition as one of the daytime running lights had failed. Truck was returned unwashed without everything put back together. Stowasser failed to provide me any documentation on the repairs conducted. If you break down and are forced to go to this shop, Use GMC's reunite program to have your vehicle towed back to a dealer that actually knows how to fix a GMC product in a timely manner. Bring your EV here if you want to lemon it because it will take them longer than 30 days to figure out what's wrong.

I had removed the engine from my 99 Mustang Cobra at 200,000 miles primarily as a precaution as these motors die a violent death if the timing chain driving the overhead cams takes a dive. Many of the engines died a violent death prior to reaching 100,000 miles. Their teardown of the engine included a detailed, measured assessment of virtually every component for wear. For those not understanding what an engine tech teardown includes the cost may seem excessive when compared to the corner shop eyeballing stuff. The parts list included those scheduled for replacement plus those needing replacement. The careful inspection was necessary to understand what was happening with my motor. The alternative approach used under the shade tree either replaces more than necessary or misses things that will come back to haunt the owner. Thankfully due to the care received from a shop in LA, Mobil 1 + Lucas additive the engine was in very good shape and needed only pistons, rings, valves , timing chain and other wear items. The price was the price they quoted. The only surprise was the smoothness of the engine when I picked up the car from the installation shop next door. It was like a turbine had been installed. Expensive , somewhat Worth it yes ^3

The issue was only on my back corner bumper and now my entire car is an issue. They said they don't know what happened... seriously??!?! I went to pick up for the second time and it was still the same, had to return to drop off again and they said it would be done by the end of the day and I had to call them and for them to tell me they got most of it off. Seriously?!?!? I have been out of a car and they can't fix the problem. Now that it is Mainline with Kraizen its not the same reputable service. Im so over this place.
