Review of Hollywood Starter and Alternator in Pompano Beach off Dixie Highway,…read moreRIP OFF I went to this shop because the advertise Alternators - 1 week ago they checked my battery and said it was the Alternator - figuring since they specialize in Alternators and battery's . The wanted $125 for used Alternator and $150 to put it in.... Since I was going away the next day I choose to order 1 online for $40. When I came back to them in a week - I asked them to make sure the problem was the alternator and again assuming they specialize in Alternators they said yes . I left the car there and they called me up 4 hours later and said they changed Alternators out. They told me they tested both Alternators and they both were good and it is an electrical problem and still wanted $150 with my problem the exact same as it was as I brought it to them. They also told me they have no scanners. They referred me to an Electrical shop 30 minutes away. I proceeded to a mechanic down the road who checked all the electric components and said it was the Alternator. He changed the Alternator and battery and it was fixed perfectly. Hollywood Starter & Alternator are a RIP OFF - Do not go to them RIP OFF

I brought my car to him and he took care of me. I even had a minor issue a few days after I left, and he spent more time with the car to make sure I was all set. The entire experience was great. This gave me confidence to go back to Richie should I need his services again. And that I did, after purchasing a car for my daughter that required a new engine. Through no fault of Richie, sourcing an engine turned out to be quite the task. However, he took care of me and my family throughout the entire process. End result - my daughter now has a reliable (first) car and this dad can rest a little easier at night now.

I'm going to go a full Five Stars on the Affordable Towing part of this business and happy to do…read moreit. They actually earned Six Stars with me but Yelp only gives me Five to hand out. It was a dark dreary night and I was playing "Dodge the Orange Construction Barrels" when all of the sudden BLAM! I smacked my left front tire into one of Lauderdale's notoriously unmarked median curbs and hit it hard enough to blow the tire. What to do? It's dark, no street lights, I'm in an unsavory section of the city and of course sexually vulnerable....which I am most of the time anyway. Feeling bad about the whole thing I decided to hobble away on my flat to a safer location. But to my delight as I was pulling away another car hit the same damn curb not only blowing a tire but breaking a tie rod. Yes, I know I'm not supposed to take delight in the suffering of another, but it really did make me happy to know that I wasn't the only one to hit that damnable curb. So with tire flopping I made it to the parking lot of a Home Depot where I gave AAA a phone call. They told me they'd have a wrecker out to me within 45 minutes. However, within 15 minutes this nice looking sparking white wrecker arrived with the nicest most helpful guy ever behind the wheel. Though he was initially going to change my tire, we both soon discovered that my car didn't come with a spare. But no problem, we front end lifted it for towing by the wrecker which I hopped into for the ride. I mentioned to the driver that as my tires were well worn I was going to get four new ones. That being the case, he very helpfully took my car directly to Tire Choice where we left it off and then drove me to my home. The driver of this tow truck just couldn't have been more helpful, friendly and polite or more knowledgeable about what he was doing. The services I received were not only exceptional but totally outstanding.

AAA MEMBERS -- PLEASE READ…read more I have been an AAA member for 16 years, and I have never experienced anything like what happened to me with a company dispatched through AAA. The company involved is Affordable Battery Inc. in Fort Lauderdale. I was charged approximately $245 for a battery, then another $70 for installation. Now I am being told I need to pay another $100 to reset my BMW's computer after the battery installation. My total cost is now approaching $500, and I'm also dealing with electrical problems that appeared after the battery was replaced, including issues with my lights and other electrical functions. What concerns me most is that I don't know whether my original battery actually needed to be replaced in the first place. I relied on the technician's assessment because I expected professional and trustworthy service through AAA. If a battery replacement causes problems that weren't there before the service, why should the customer have to keep paying additional charges to correct them? I am requesting an itemized explanation of every charge, documentation of the battery testing that justified the replacement, and an explanation of what was done to my BMW during installation. I'm sharing my experience because AAA members deserve transparency about who is being dispatched to their vehicles and what additional charges they may be asked to pay. AAA -- I need you to address this. Affordable Battery Inc. -- I need an explanation and resolution. I'm keeping all receipts, payment records, communications, and documentation of the vehicle's condition before and after the service. One interesting thing I found: public reviews for this business include other complaints about battery pricing, disputed battery testing/replacement, and post-installation issues, although there are also many positive reviews. So your strongest approach is to document exactly what happened to your car and exactly what you were charged, rather than making a blanket accusation.
