Although seems like a nice…read moreguy and does simple things quick and easy (oil change, tires, brakes, or even simple engine part replacement) i wouldn't trust him with bigger jobs.. a day job sure. Anything more complex find a mechanic that'll give you a warranty. Aqueel can't afford warranties. Maybe be has a warranty on the PARTS but he won't replace anything for free and will look for you to pay his labour. Even if the part fails you're expected to pay labour. So if the part is $200 and it fails, you dont pay the $200 part he gets it for free but still wants you to pay his labour fee. Bollocks mate! Quite a scam and unprofessional behaivor. Pay the pretty penny at a real mechanic shop and get a warranty for parts AND labour. In so many businesses in this Country of USA when you replace a part they give you a certain amount of time as a warranty. Then replace that part FREE of charge if it is defective (manufacturer defect) in Aqueels garage you will still pay. This is a greedy way to do business and sadly me or my family won't go back. I will drive 30 or 40+ minutes to a different mechanic who is slightly more expensive but Sadly aqueel will no longer be getting my money. Sorry ol chap!

SCAMERS!!! Apparently, I haven't been the first one who has been taken advantage of. Unfortunately,…read moreI went there just for a nail on my tire, since it was irreparable I was informed that a new tire was needed, as they didn't have the same tire. They had to install "my spare tire" since they pulled out the nail and tire got flat. I had no choice but let them install it. I was told "there was no charge" I thought it was very odd since they had spent over an hour in my car. (In all that time the female kept going to the back and staying long periods there, fishy) Well, I ended up driving away with a junk of piece spare tire shoved into my car, because they didn't install my original brand new spare tire. Since, I'm not playing games with the devil I had it documented. Next business day early morning I called to communicate them that I wanted my original spare tire back. Female on the phone was the same front desk person that was there that day, she just demonstrated her lack of professionalism, she denied everything and said bring your car back "I'll show you". I asked, what are you going to show me? She wanted to show me: How to force fit the spare tire jack into the piece of junk she and her elderly parter shoved into my car. Seriously? You wanted to show me how to fit the jack on something that I own, that belongs to me!? Like if I have no clue how the stuff that I have on my car must be perfectly fitted or placed, I was not born yesterday lady. Then, she proceeded to lose her temper and started yelling at me that if I have a problem with my car I should just bring it back to them. NO! I would never give you a chance to place your hands on my belongings EVER again! Further more, she continued yelling and threatened me to call her corporation if I keep calling and hung up my call; What's your corporation supposed to do, other than be ashamed of how this branch doesn't waste time to take advantage of customers. Also, I know a young lady that went to this place; she said they messed up her tires and they tried to keep one of her brand new tires. She asked them to give back to her and they were "oh, yes! We "forgot " we'll bring it to you" Boo! Stop thinking we females are an easy target and that we have no clue what belongs to us, or that we are ignorants and that we had no people that have our backs. So, here are my two cents to your business. First, you DO NOT had the right to yell at me lady, the only person who had the right to do that was my mother (yet she never did). You are no one to attribute yourself that right, apparently no one taught you, that taking someone belongings is called: stealing! Second, I never went there to ask anything for "free" I would have been more than happy to pay for the service and your time. But the "free" crap it's their bait. Advice; if you really want to save money, take your business somewhere else trustworthy as I did for my tire and brakes, based on other reviews (I would never compromise my safety with them). I had to get a new original spare tire because there was no way I would have shoved that piece of junk into my car. And no, no! No way, I'm not longer interested to talk to the management of this branch. I wasted enough time, money and energy with your shady business. Oh! by the way yelling lady, your nails looked bad! (I do have pictures, videos)

Brought my jeep in because I thought the shocks were bad and had a check engine light, I was told the issue was a module for the air suspension. I was quoted about 2k to fix. It wasn't super important to me but I planned on keeping the vehicle so I just did it. Immediately after picking up the vehicle the engine light went on again and it was the same code. They looked at it again and said now I need some other 2k part. I told them I would have NEVER spend 4k to fix this and basically got screwed out of 2k. Fast forward, because I did have some history with this place I assumed what happened may have been a fluke but I was extremely wrong. Brought the same vehicle in because I had a code for misfire in cylinder 5 and the engine had a tick sound. They inspected and told me it just needed plugs and coils. I have a voicemail from them specifically stating a tune up will definitely fix my issue and it was almost 1,100! I said go ahead and do the work. Before I even picked up my vehicle they called and said I still have a tick and they can inspect more of course with added fees. At this point I was very mad that they misdiagnosed AGAIN and still intended to charge me full price. I called a friend who is a mechanic in Michigan and called my local Jeep dealer and with only telling them I had a misfire they BOTH immediately told me it's because of the cam and rollers which is like a 7k job! I then did a very quick google search to verify this and it seems to be a very very common issue with this make and model. I was then told by the shop manager that John (the owner) told him if we were going to "act some kinda way" over this that he would remover the labor and only charge us for the parts and to never come back (still over $500 for nothing). We had no choice but to pay since the vehicle was held hostage until we paid. Needles to say I was NEVER planning to go back there and it's really disappointing how fast this shop went down hill and no longer stands behind their work.
