Although I appreciate that they didn't charge a diagnostic fee, I'm really disappointed with my…read moreexperience. I brought my car in due to an intermittent gear slipping issue, which I had already traced to a solenoid problem--a very common issue with my Pontiac G6. The symptoms only occurred twice, very briefly. My check engine light came on both times but turned off on its own. I was still able to drive the car on the freeway at full speed with no issues. The problem only showed up during city stop-and-go traffic. I specifically asked if they could just replace the solenoid, and was told no. Instead, I was told I "only had gears 1 and 2" and that I'd need a $4,800 transmission rebuild--which is objectively false, as I literally drove the car 70+ mph on the freeway both before and after leaving the shop. My engine light was off before coming to the shop, turned on once at the shop, then turned back off shortly after leaving. There is no way my car had only gears 1 & 2 I know what that feels like as it happened twice briefly. So to say this to me is insane. Mind you wouldn't have been able to go more than 25 with out the car struggling they must have assumed I don't know a thing about cars. Possibly because I'm a woman and I went alone. They also claimed the solenoid was too difficult to access without replacing the computer and warned me about my car's mileage, as if that meant it wasn't worth fixing. But then, on my way out, they admitted it's a "really great car" and "this is the only issue." It felt manipulative. I decided to trust my gut, went to a different shop, and had the solenoid replaced--and now my car runs perfectly fine. No rebuild needed. If I hadn't known what I was talking about, they would've gladly let me spend thousands on a completely unnecessary repair. Trust yourself. Do your research. Don't let fear-based upselling push you into something you don't need. Also from reading the reviews it sounds like the routinely tell their customers they need a rebuild and successfully do the rebuild. (more than likely something very easily replaceable) However a good transmission shop doesn't just rebuild, they properly and honestly diagnose and repair. He also tried selling me cars on the way out. Notice how he hasn't replied to this yelp review and also told me he feels bad for me in the text? Very unprofessional I don't need your pitty I needed honesty which I didn't get from this shop. He also told me don't buy a used car you can't guarantee you won't have problems it's best if you fix this one with us. Also told me not to go to another shop because id want a local shop lol

Previous diagnosis from independent service shops all pointed to full replacement of transmission and mechatronics unit.

Dug into the transmission and came back with not only really firm diagnosis but also reported out that the transmission was in excellent condition. He also complimented me on what he could tell was a well maintained example of a 7 Series. He was familiar with the symptoms, vehicle and solutions.

I usually supply my own OEM parts for repair but decided to let Mangale order a fan clutch for my overheating F150. I asked about brands like Hayden and Four Seasons but was told they have had problems with these so I let the shop order whatever they recommended that works best. The Hayden, Four Seasons and Metrix (API) fan clutches are all under $60 on Parts Geek. My issue is I was charged $261 for a Metrix 1604-328141 Severe Duty (robbed 25hp). The same clutch is on Parts Geek for $59. That is a 444% mark up on this same part by the same manufacturer. My advice is to supply your own OEM parts. You will $ave in the long run. My second complaint is a bolt broke off on the thermostat housing while replacing the thermostat (corrosion). It happens and I get it. What I do not understand is how can extracting one bolt cost $750. I was charged 3.5 hours to remove one bolt. I feel like the problem was exaggerated to me verses buying a new manifold. I overpaid the clutch fan by $200. Then the bolt extraction should be 1-2 hours tops so I was overcharged $400 for that as well.

I called a few places and the estimate given to me is costing more than the value of my car. I found Pristine Transmission on Craigslist. I spoke to the owner over the phone twice and I visited the shop twice. I was able to meet the owner on my second visit. His name is Rasul. Every review that I read has his name wrong. Rasul explained to me why Honda/Acura transmission would fail after certain mileage. He actually had a few transmissions sitting on the work bench and he explained to me how he rebuilds transmission. I am 100% sold at that time. When I picked up my car, Rasul told me that he replaced one of the engine mount because he noticed the one near the back was crack.

I brought my car in because it wasn't driving the way it normally does. They kept the vehicle for a day and contacted me the following day to recommend replacing the transmission. The estimate was approximately $9,800, which was far beyond what I expected--and, quite frankly, extremely concerning. My vehicle is not yet six years old, and I have consistently kept up with routine maintenance, including regular oil changes. Naturally, I was very disappointed to be told that I needed a replacement transmission, especially at that cost. I decided to get a second opinion from another repair shop, and I'm very glad I did. They diagnosed the issue as spark plugs and ignition coils--not a transmission problem. After replacing those components, my car is now running beautifully. I appreciate the customer service I received, but unfortunately, I cannot justify returning to a shop that would recommend a repair of nearly $10,000 when the actual issue turned out to be something significantly less expensive. I understand that diagnostics can sometimes be complicated and that different shops may reach different conclusions. However, an estimate of $9,800 is a substantial amount of money, and I strongly recommend getting a second opinion before committing to a repair of that magnitude. Thank you for your time and for the service you provided. I sincerely wish you the best, but based on this experience, I will likely may not return.

The owner walked me through the whole process, explained why a higher-quality filter gasket was worth it (and he was right the one I had wasn't great), and even saved the old fluid to show the work was done right. He got the job done faster than I expected and at a more-than-fair price. This shop is built on honesty, hard work, and family values. In today's world, that's rare. I highly recommend Nayarit Transmission if you want quality work and someone you can truly trust with your car.

Bay Motors Auto Repair

This is my 100% true experience at Bay Motors Auto Repair. I brought my car in for a brake repair…read moreand ended up having to spend an additional $1700 to fix the faulty repair job from Bay Motors. I brought my vehicle to Bay Auto to change my brake pads, rotors and master cylinder. A day later, Ed the owner called me and said that my Automatic Braking System (ABS) module had also failed. Although it was not a problem before (no lights on the dash). I suspect Bay Motors did something to cause it to fail because I later learned that ABS modules rarely fail on their own. Anyway, Ed tells me the part is hard to get and it would take a few business days to get it. I didn't want to pick up my car with a compromised brake system so I agreed to proceed. When I went back the following week to pick up my car and proceed to pay, Ed then tells me the ABS light is on and that I would have to take it to Subaru to "reprogram" the new ABS module. He made it sound like it was no big deal and routine. I paid the bill and had to drive away with a nonfunctional ABS system which means the anti-lock brake system and traction control were no longer active. After conducting some research and bringing it to Subaru. I found the following: 1. The ABS module that Bay Motors installed was a used/recycled part that was purchased through Ebay Motors. See photo. 2. The ABS module Bay Motors installed was not even the correct module and hence could not communicate with my vehicle. (there are two models for my year/make/model - one with Subaru EyeSite safety feature and one without). Bay Motors installed the wrong one. 3. A properly installed ABS module, installed by a trained mechanic with proper tools and the right part would self-calibrate, not needing "programing". Bay Motors clearly didn't know what they were doing. To make matters worse, two days after getting my vehicle back, I was on the highway and my vehicle started shaking for no apparent reason. I pulled over to check my tires and discovered that one of the lug nuts on my back tire was MISSING. This was another very dangerous situation Bay Motors caused. I called Ed and he played it off as no big deal and asked me to bring in the vehicle the next day. I spoke with Ed after discovering he installed a used ABS module that did not work on my vehicle but he offered no solution or refund for the part. I would NOT recommend Bay Auto Body for any auto repair because of their dishonesty and lack of integrity.

You can tell immediately how much he values his team. He treats his staff like family, and it shows in their work. Everyone there genuinely enjoys what they do, and they really do live up to the "OCD" name when it comes to attention to detail. I learned the hard way that not all highly rated Yelp shops deliver real quality. After going to another popular place, a friend pointed out several issues in the work that I had completely missed. Never again! I would much rather pay for top-tier service and have peace of mind than worry about fixing problems later. Most recently, I had a front PPF and tint done on my Tesla, and the results were flawless. OCD Detailing is one of the few places capable of tinting the entire Tesla roof using a single piece, with no seams, and it looks incredible. They were also kind enough to help install hub caps I purchased separately and recommended a great source for blacked-out emblems. My car turned out beautiful. The only downside is that I live in San Francisco, so the drive is a bit out of the way, but it was absolutely worth it. I recommend OCD Detailing to all my friends whenever they're looking for high-quality PPF or tinting. If you care about your car, this is where you take it.

My sister got into fender bender recently and needed to repair her car. She went to two different…read moreplaces for estimates and they encouraged her to go through insurance for the repair. Then she remembered her friend's husband owned a shop and turned to Empire Automotive to get their opinion. Rizwan, the owner, suggested she replace the trunk with a used vehicle to cut down on costs. He also gave a great deal to pay out of pocket without having to go through insurance. They were fast and efficient with their services. My sister brought her car in on Monday to inspect the damage and Rizwan ordered the replacement trunk that day. Then she brought the car back on Tuesday at 2pm and her car was ready by 5pm that day! Highly recommend Empire Automotive as they are professional, efficient, and maintain a clean and organized body shop!

My 1972 Monte Carlo had been having issues with my drum brakes dragging and Robert and his team…read morediagnosed it was a faulty parking brake. Not only did they do a great job with the brakes, he also addressed other issues and took care of that as well at a great price. Everyone knows having a classic car usually means you have to constantly fix/tune/adjust the cars for optimal performance. I don't want to take my classic to a new car shop and I'm really lucky to have this shop close to me so if/when I do have problems I will take my car at Last Stop Customs. My brother also had issues with his dodge charger window and Rob and his team diagnosed and fixed the problem quickly. They also replaced the front sway bar and ball joints while the car was there. If you have a classic, or even a new car and want a honest and great shop to take care of you go here for a quick turnaround and great service. You won't be disappointed.

Rob is the BEST. My car stalled down the street from the shop in a dangerous spot, he picked me up…read morewithin 5 minutes of me calling, jumped my battery, and i was immediately helped once we got to the shop. I needed a new battery amongst other things, rob made sure to check if i had a warranty & did what he could to get me the lowest price. Then he drove me to work!!!! & my car was fixed by the end of the day, exactly when they said it would be ready! Experience was painless and stress free, its clear they care about operating with integrity and reliability. I will never go to a different mechanic again!! Recommending to as many people as I can to show my gratitude!!
