In one of the brief warm spots between cold fronts that we had during February, I noticed that my…read morecar's air conditioning was no longer pushing out cold air. Sad days, though I had had some issues with it about a year prior, so not necessarily unexpected. I have been to Dad's before, and they had done good work on my brakes for the car, so I figured it was reasonable that this would be a good one for them as well. I was able to set up an appointment just a couple of days later, and brought the car in there. No issues on getting it checked in, and they worked on it that morning. Sadly, they were not able to find the leak in the system. I was going to have to take it to a specialist. However, they also did not charge me for the diagnosis, which was very nice of them! In the future you can bet that I am going to be going to Dad's for work on my vehicles, because they are an upstanding group that know how to treat customers.

My initial encounter at Alan's was positive - the fellow at the counter was extremely friendly and gave me a rough estimate for a new cat and he recommended replacing the timing belt as well, since my vehicle was nearing 90k miles. Since this advice checked out on Google, I called back to make an appointment for the two jobs (these are not cheap repairs). Was given a date 2 weeks out due to their busy schedule and was told the repair work would take 2 days to complete. Fast forward 2 weeks - handed over my keys and car on a Wednesday evening so that I could have it ready by the weekend. Radio silence from Alan's on Thursday. Around noon on Friday I called to check progress and was told to call back at 1:30pm for an update. Called back then and was told that they still needed to ASSESS my vehicle. I explained that I was told it would be READY by Friday evening and they seemed surprised - couldn't I just leave it with them, (presumably indefinitely) until they got around to it? I explained that no, I needed my vehicle back, but would appreciate an assessment and would think about bringing it in again at a later date for the actual repair. Fellow on the phone said, yes of course, he would call me back shortly with an update on their assessment. Hearing nothing, I called him back at 4pm - he rushed me off the phone, saying he had two people in the office he needed to attend to and would call me right back. By 5pm I was at Alan's with my wife to retrieve our vehicle. Our car was sitting in the lot with its windows down, in the rain. The owner saw us walking past the open garage door heading to the office and did not return my greeting. We entered the office and were ignored. We spotted our keys on the wall and took them. Wife hopped in our car and began to pull out of the driveway, and only then did the owner emerge from the garage, suddenly very chatty. Seeing that we were about to leave, he shared the results of the assessment. I listened politely, made mental notes, and left forever.

Could not drive the truck with cracked manifold so took photos and went to the appointment. I was told sure they could do the work. Paid $265 to have the truck towed to this shop. Truck sat there for 4 months. Every time I would call I was told owner would call me back. After 4 months I paid another $265 to have it towed home. Found a mobile mechanic did the work in four hours for less than this shop would have charged, also out over 500 bucks in towing charges, this company has no integrity.
