BEWARE 1 Star - Unsafe Repair, Left Me Stranded…read more I am extremely disappointed with Ted's Garage and have zero confidence in their work. I took my car in only to have spark plugs changed, but co-owner Mike said it was something else, never touched the spark plugs, replaced the thermostat, and charged me $259. Less than three days later, after being told my car was "fine to drive," it left me stranded on the freeway in the middle of traffic. This was dangerous and unacceptable. Mike then told me my engine was completely shot, which turned out to be false. Another reputable mechanic picked up my car from Ted's Garage and fixed it within days after diagnosing the real issue--a leaking water pump into the oil pan. This repair clearly did not fix the problem and the car failed almost immediately. The work should be refunded, as it was still under warranty and left me stranded. I do not trust their diagnosis or repairs and strongly recommend getting a second opinion. Thankfully I had my repairs done elsewhere But Mike refused to refund $259.00 for useless "repair" that failed with 3 days & was still under warranty per Mike himsel.

Learn how to upsell…read more Look - I'm standing up for the consumer. The price of gas has doubled. It's logical that people may try to fill their tank paying with a $100 bill. My tank is 13 gallons. This place was charging $6.26 for the lowest level octane. $6.29 (my tank was about empty) X 13 gallon tank = $81.77 At that price - "no change for $100, or can't break that" goes out the window. Just suggest that I spend the entire hundred. I even asked to buy a Red Bull. If you don't have that much change - fine. Just upsell, use your mouth, and say, "Buy such and such to round it out." That's it! I was not going to do the gas station attendant's job. If this individual is so gone that they can't upsell and (dare I say it) be a gas station attendant - maybe they should be working at Legoland California. Be a gas station attendant. Actually care about your job. I can tell that the people working here keep their jobs out of nepotism. Taco Bell will suggest that you just spend the whole bill, a gas station charging an arm and a leg for gas won't upsell and the gas station attendant is too lazy to suggest that you round out the bill - hilarious. - Had to make an edit, because I am disgusted by the bad service. I couldn't use my debit card, it was an emergency so I went here. Instead of a transaction taking place, I could have just spent the whole $100, the gas station attendant acted like the only thing they could do was let me down completely and have me drive off with an empty tank!

I usually bring my Nissan Rogue to this shop for its maintenance work and repairs. They are across…read morethe street from my work, so I typically drop it off in the morning and will be ready later that day. I recently took them a project car of mine, my beloved Honda S2000 who we thought was declared dead. Luis said they were willing to check her out and take on this challenge to revive her. I must say they were successful!! They informed me it was the fuel pump and fuel injectors that needed to be replaced. They searched far and wide to find the needed parts, even thought they were more than likely obsolete. I am so grateful to Luis and his team for bringing my car back to life. Since she needed to be smogged, Luis was kind enough to take her to the smog shop next door to have her tested. He called me with the great news that she had passed smog and was ready be picked up. I am so happy to finally be driving my S2K again.

On Tuesday, February 17th, my husband picked up our 2011 Honda Odyssey from R&L Performance and he…read morepaid $2,322.85 for work done. On the 3 mile drive home, the van started smoking and caught fire. The fire department was called and had to put out the fire. The car is a total loss and we are waiting to hear from our adjuster. In the meantime,Luis and his brother came to see the car at our home and have done nothing to help resolve this matter. At first they agreed to make this right, but now they refuse to give us their insurance information so that we can file a claim with their company, they refuse to refund the money we paid for the work they did on the car. They won't pay for a rental car either because we are down a car. They refuse to pay the money for our van, the urgent care visit that my husband had to go to for the burns on his right hand, and the wages for the 3 shifts of work that my husband missed due to this incident. My car was running fine prior to leaving it with Luis at R&L. My husband works for the South Bay Union School District and Luis and R&L Performance work on their trucks. I would surmise that maybe that should be reconsidered. I would not take a car to them in the future. Save yourself the frustration and aggravation. Learn from my experience.

Just had my RV done. My 24 foot 2008 Winnebago View with Mercedes gas engine on a sprinter chassis…read morewas in for smog test. It had a check engine light on. It only has 42,700 miles on engine. I had previously not driven it in a long time and had disconnected the battery. It wasn't going to pass smog and Jessie said to drive it about 49 miles and come back. I did that and it was better on the smog codes, but required more driving to reset the engine sensor electronics. Jessie was able to tell me what to do was to drive the vehicle instead of charging me big bucks to fix it when it just needed more driving. Jessie is friendly, honest and saves you money. I will definitely go back to B & J.

It only took 15 minutes per person and then it was my turn. Another 15 minutes went by and my smog check was done and I passed. The results were electronically sent to DMV and by the time that I got to the AAA office across town, I was able to renew my vehicle registration with no issues. Thanks for the great work and I will definitely bring my wife's car for a smog check when it is due! P.S. If you have a custom air intake like me, make sure that it is smog legal and that you have the CARB sticker mounted under the hood to avoid issues!
