    Regular Maintenance light went on as soon as the car was received.
    Kia J.

    Save yourself TIME and lots of money and take your car elsewhere. They seem to be scammers who don't care about customer service. Where do I even begin. After 10+ years of taking all of my cars to EU-TECH (on Auburn Blvd), I thought to myself, let's give a more local shop a try. Closer to our home in Cameron Park and more convenient dropping off and picking up. Just this once I thought what could go wrong. Two and a half weeks ago, wife's car was dropped off for regular maintenance and a check engine light that was on. EU-TECH already checked it and told me it was a 4 hour job but they did not have a specific tool and it'd be best to take it to the dealership. I tried taking the car to the dealer, but unfortunately the distance was too far for me and having a long drop off location, wasn't working with mine and my wife's work schedule. So I searched for authorized mechanics to be able to work on the car and Foreign Auto showed up on my search. I did a brief search of them and saw some positive reviews on Google and bunch of exotic cars like Ferraris, Lambos, Lotus, etc. were all over their photos online. So I thought, ok these guys are legit and work on variety of cars and must know what they are doing. They must be professionals. Boy was I wrong! First, after dropping it off, the guy calls me and tells me "we are busy right now and I won't get to start on your car in a few days" ... I understood it was around the holidays and slight delays were expected. Didn't think anything of it. Then after 4 days, I finally got the diagnosis report. They charge you $300 as soon as the car is in their shop. So the moment you drop off the car, be ready to have at least a $300 charge. Couple of more days go by. The report gets updated. Now I'm like ok great. They are actually working on the car. After some calls back and forth, they tell me there is this tool that they need to order and after all the fixes, my cost would be around $2500. I approved the estimate, which also included a bunch of other "Recommended" fixes. After I signed the approval, my wife reminded me of our Warranty that was still active. So I quickly reached out to the shop and told them my warranty info. Funny enough, after 30 minutes of me providing the warranty info, I received a new updated estimate. My total all of a sudden became $3600! How could this be? I just approved a $2500 estimate. So I call the shop. I asked about the sudden increase. The dude had the audacity to say "well it's a big job. We found out we need to remove XYZ in order to do the job. So it came out to be more hours of labor". Then he said, "don't worry. Your insurance will pay close to $2k of it." Since my total for my portion was now below what I was originally paying and I wanted to get this resolved as soon as possible and get the car back, I accepted the charges and told them to move forward. This was around day 4 or 5 of dropping the car off. 5 more days went by. Throughout this time, there were many discussions like "Parts being ordered", "We don't have this tool and need to order this tool", "we are waiting for this other tool to arrive", "oh your car was going to be ready but my guy broke something and I don't feel comfortable giving you the car like this so we have to fix it. Ordered another part for it and waiting for it" and comments like that, until 2.5 weeks later. The guy is like "when we opened this part, there was this other part that we needed and you need to pay for it. It'll be around $200 more" ... At this point I am fed up with this scam of a place and I just agreed to anything to get my car back. Keep in mind throughout this period, my portion of the payment is suppose to be $1900. When l received my bill, my portion became $2400! And an additional $2000 was paid by my insurance. So this place charged me over $4000 for a job that was suppose to be 4 hours and they took 2.5 weeks to deliver! And throughout this period, every time I would call, they'd have this type of tone as if I am the one that is annoying them by calling them every other day for an update on the car. Best part is, after finally getting the car back, the first thing I see is "Regular Maintenance Overdue" light on the dash goes on and the inside of the car smells badly of oil/gas. Do not be fooled by this place. To me, the sudden increase in the estimate after finding out about my warranty is very shady and I feel this place scams people by overcharging and adding cost for extras you don't need. There are way better mechanics in the neighborhood than these guys. Obviously I will be back to EU-TECH again after this experience. ****UPDATE 18 days later after receiving the car: CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME BACK ON AGAIN. This place is a joke of a mechanic shop. Do Not Take Your Car Here!

The mechanic installed the front differential actuator in 4WD while the transfer case was still in 2WD and failed to check that both were matched before installation. Because of that mistake, he blew the bushing, and I had to go buy a new transfer case actuator out of my own pocket because of his carelessness. After their work, my car became hard to reverse, hard to accelerate, revved high just to go about 10 mph, and now I can hear and feel grinding from the drivetrain. None of this was happening before they touched it. Instead of owning their mistake and making it right, they wanted more money to keep working on the mess they created. That is unacceptable. A basic step in this job was making sure both actuators were in the same position before installing the part, and they failed to do that. I brought them a working vehicle, and they returned it damaged.
