    Came into this plaza for a smog check at a neighboring business, only to find them closed. This garage advertised a $15 starting rate for smog, so in we went. They got to our car fairly quickly, and they have both indoor and outdoor waiting spaces- inside has phone chargers and a water dispenser, which was a nice touch. Staff were friendly and fast. In addition to our passing smog check, they also checked out the car and let us know of a few issues with tires and a leaking gasket, no pressure to upsell just an estimate of their costs, which was a nice change compared to other places. NOTE: This garage and the one next door (ZipZap) are same ownership/management.

    I called several mechanics to get estimates for repairs for my sons car. This shop had the best price so we dropped the car off before closing. They got to work on it and the next day they had finished everything!! Several repairs! They also stayed in contact with my son the entire time. They even adjusted his bumper that was sticking out and a couple other things that was purely love for their customer. Good mechanics have always been hard to find so this place is definitely our new mechanic! We'll be coming back for all our auto repair and service needs. The price got us in the door and the customer service turned us into long-term customers. Thank you Rico!!

    Negative terminal with crowned hex nut.

    Lost faith and trust in them. My vehicle wouldn't start. I suspected something electrical (battery, starter and/or connections in between. After the, "diagnosis", I was told the starter would need to be replaced. And I approved the work. The vehicle still needed to be jumped to start after the starter replacement. It was then they told me the battery would need to be replaced. I declined because it was only two years old. And I could replace it myself. After getting it home, I discovered the the negative battery bolt was no longer in place. Instead, a crowned hex nut (used as a spacer) and a hex bolt were now in its place. On the positive terminal was some kind of bushing (also used as a spacer) and a hex bolt. Neither set-up offered much surface contact with the leads to conduct a heavy amp draw at start up. See the pictures below. It was truly pathetic. I took the battery to an auto parts store to check it and buy a new one if it was, indeed, dead. It wasn't. So, the Quantum rep was trying to get to me to buy a battery from them to replace a perfectly good one. After thoroughly cleaning the battery connections and installing the proper hardware, the vehicle started instantly with zero hesitation. Let's sum this up: They told me I needed a new battery, preferably from them, without testing the existing battery. The technician's service standards absolutely sucked and should be an embarrassment to the company. Conductivity of the connections obviously weren't checked. It makes me wonder if I needed that starter after all.

    I brought my Hyundai Elantra in for an A/C diagnostic because the system was blowing warm air…read more I dropped the vehicle off around 9:30 AM and was told they would "get right on it." I understand shops get busy, this location is "first come first served", and I don't expect anyone to magically make time appear or drop everything to check out the new car. I don't work there and I walked in, so I have no idea what things look like behind the scenes. The issue wasn't that they were busy, it was that the expectations set didn't reflect reality. After walking around the area for about an hour after drop-off, I returned and noticed my vehicle was still sitting in the same guest parking spot at the side of the building where I had left it. By 11:00 (after waiting over 90 minutes/nearly two hours from drop-off) with no phone call update and no apparent movement of the vehicle, I went to the front desk to ask about the status. Shortly after I asked, the vehicle was brought into the shop and I was assured the diagnostic would take "about" 30 minutes. It ended up taking closer to 50 before I got up again to ask about an update. My main frustration was not the diagnosis itself, but the communication and expectations throughout the process. Everyone I interacted with was polite and reasonable, but I was given the same optimistic timeline despite the shop evidently being backed up. If I had been told up front that it would be hours before the vehicle would be moved, let alone looked at, I would have planned my morning differently. I do want to clarify that the issue wasn't attitude or service, it was a lack of clear and realistic communication. Better coordination internally and more honest timelines for customers would make a big difference.

    Everyone is very very nice…read more Had a small issue, and the owner Hamid reached out to me and made everything right. He was really committed to my customer satisfaction, and I plan on returning when my car needs service. Thank you Hamid and all the nice people at Zip Zap!
