Moz and Francisco were very transparent with immediate needs vs longer term repairs. A trusted source and I felt confident with their advice. I am definitely a customer (repeat) now.

About two minutes later, my tire pressure warning light also came on. To be completely fair, I fully agreed that they should not simply rely on my word regarding the paint damage. They told me they needed to review their security footage and the photos/videos taken before they started working on my vehicle. I respected that process because businesses should verify the facts before accepting responsibility. More than 24 hours later, Fernando called and told me the damage had already been there when I arrived. I then politely asked if they could send me the footage they relied on to reach that conclusion. His answer was simply, "No." That is where they completely lost my trust. If my statement alone is not enough for them and they need video evidence before making a decision, then it is only fair that I be allowed to see the same evidence they are using to deny my claim. Instead, I was expected to simply trust their word while they refused to provide the footage they claimed supported their position. I find that lack of transparency extremely concerning. Whether the damage was there beforehand or not is almost beside the point. Refusing to share the very evidence you rely on while expecting the customer to accept your conclusion without question does not inspire confidence--it undermines it. Trust is earned through transparency, and it goes both ways. A business cannot say, "We don't trust your word, so we need evidence," while at the same time refusing to show that evidence and expecting the customer to blindly trust theirs. "That's how we work" is not an acceptable explanation. Because of this experience, I will never return. I cannot recommend a business that expects transparency from its customers while refusing to practice it themselves.

ADAM’S COMPLETE AUTO REPAIR

I am extremely disappointed with my experience here. I brought my car in on October 6th 2025 for a…read morediagnostic knowing I needed an oil change and possibly had an oil leak. I paid $130 for what was supposed to be a full diagnostic.. a thorough report of issues found after inspection. Instead, I got a single vague paragraph on paper (quote 1) summarizing $2,000+ in repairs with no itemized breakdown. I asked for photos, and they showed me pictures of my engine filters (note you have to get pass air ducts for this). Later that day I requested an itemized quote and suddenly the total dropped by nearly $1,000. Some of the issues just disappeared from the quote. That was my first red flag. How does a "diagnosis" of the same car change that drastically within hours? What did I pay $130 for if not an accurate inspection and record of the car's condition? I decided to check things myself. I ordered my own cabin, engine, and oil filters online for around $35 total (they quoted $180). I replaced the cabin filter in five minutes. Then I went to replace the engine air filter and immediately saw two large tears in both air intake ducts ... the hoses that deliver air into the engine (pre-filter at least). But both were completely ripped. This was never mentioned in either diagnostic, quote 1 or 2 despite being obvious... I paid $130 for them to "inspect" my car, and they missed something anyone could see under the hood? That's not just sloppy... it's negligent. And since accessing the engine filter requires moving those ducts, they had to have seen it. So, recap: I paid $130 for a diagnostic that missed two gaping holes in the air intake ducts something front and center. If I hadn't checked, I'd still be driving with this glaring issue. It's hard not to wonder if I was brushed off because I'm a woman. Im not the type to take someone's word without checking. This felt either lazy or deliberately dishonest. Fast forward to October 11, I came back for what I assumed would be a simple oil change. I'd already paid $130 for the lacking diagnostic, I believe I was informed with my initial quote that would go towards other services. Nope. They charged another $160. But I didn't have the energy to argue and I was planning to bring up the ducts. No one mentioned them... not even when I asked if there were any other issues. So I walked outside opened the hood pointed at the ripped hose and asked "What's this, and why wasn't it in my diagnostic?" The man looks me dead in the eye and says, "Oh, that's not really a big deal... most people don't fix that." Excuse me? I paid for a diagnosis and someone decided this shouldn't be included. Make it make sense. After pressing, he admits it should be replaced... something I already knew since I'd ordered both ducts for $30 online. Then he gives me a verbal quote of $55. I ask him to print it (because I'm not doing he said she said). He writes it up adding "no labor charge" like he's doing me a favor. I already had both parts sitting in my car. When I got home, I realized the quote was for one side the one I'd pointed at. Both were torn. At this point, I've lost all trust in this location. They're not transparent, not thorough, and the way they handled my situation was insulting. I hoped I could trust them with my car, but instead I learned a hard lesson. I'll now personally verify every service I pay for. If you rely on shops for maintenance.. open your hood. Watch a few videos. Understand what's being done before paying the "convenience" premium. Many of these fixes are simple and inexpensive. TL;DR: - Paid $130 for a "diagnostic" that missed two huge air duct tears. - Received inconsistent quotes -- price dropped $1,000 after asking for details. - No transparency or accountability. - Dismissive attitude when confronted. - Trust broken. Would not return.

Admittedly, I don't know much about cars, and I know businesses have to make their cut, but I thought their pricing was fair for the service provided.

Very happy with both the service and pricing I was given here!…read more I needed my mounts serviced /replaced (for my BMW), and it was my first time getting this done. I had gone around to different shops to get estimates, see what they said my car needed, and also look into customer reviews, etc. Rafi outmatched all pricing offers and got the job done in less than half a day. Highly recommend. My mount was successfully replaced and my car was good to go.

My waterpump was replaced, and despite the receipt showing it was an Audi part, it was actually a shi tty aftermarket part. Now I'm having to pay to replace it again with a genuine Audi part. Additionally, the alleged that they replaced the oil pan gasket and it either wasn't done correctly. Or they used the wrong type of sealant because that also needs to be replaced. Avoid coming here.

About two minutes later, my tire pressure warning light also came on. To be completely fair, I fully agreed that they should not simply rely on my word regarding the paint damage. They told me they needed to review their security footage and the photos/videos taken before they started working on my vehicle. I respected that process because businesses should verify the facts before accepting responsibility. More than 24 hours later, Fernando called and told me the damage had already been there when I arrived. I then politely asked if they could send me the footage they relied on to reach that conclusion. His answer was simply, "No." That is where they completely lost my trust. If my statement alone is not enough for them and they need video evidence before making a decision, then it is only fair that I be allowed to see the same evidence they are using to deny my claim. Instead, I was expected to simply trust their word while they refused to provide the footage they claimed supported their position. I find that lack of transparency extremely concerning. Whether the damage was there beforehand or not is almost beside the point. Refusing to share the very evidence you rely on while expecting the customer to accept your conclusion without question does not inspire confidence--it undermines it. Trust is earned through transparency, and it goes both ways. A business cannot say, "We don't trust your word, so we need evidence," while at the same time refusing to show that evidence and expecting the customer to blindly trust theirs. "That's how we work" is not an acceptable explanation. Because of this experience, I will never return. I cannot recommend a business that expects transparency from its customers while refusing to practice it themselves.

I am extremely disappointed with my experience here. I brought my car in on October 6th 2025 for a…read morediagnostic knowing I needed an oil change and possibly had an oil leak. I paid $130 for what was supposed to be a full diagnostic.. a thorough report of issues found after inspection. Instead, I got a single vague paragraph on paper (quote 1) summarizing $2,000+ in repairs with no itemized breakdown. I asked for photos, and they showed me pictures of my engine filters (note you have to get pass air ducts for this). Later that day I requested an itemized quote and suddenly the total dropped by nearly $1,000. Some of the issues just disappeared from the quote. That was my first red flag. How does a "diagnosis" of the same car change that drastically within hours? What did I pay $130 for if not an accurate inspection and record of the car's condition? I decided to check things myself. I ordered my own cabin, engine, and oil filters online for around $35 total (they quoted $180). I replaced the cabin filter in five minutes. Then I went to replace the engine air filter and immediately saw two large tears in both air intake ducts ... the hoses that deliver air into the engine (pre-filter at least). But both were completely ripped. This was never mentioned in either diagnostic, quote 1 or 2 despite being obvious... I paid $130 for them to "inspect" my car, and they missed something anyone could see under the hood? That's not just sloppy... it's negligent. And since accessing the engine filter requires moving those ducts, they had to have seen it. So, recap: I paid $130 for a diagnostic that missed two gaping holes in the air intake ducts something front and center. If I hadn't checked, I'd still be driving with this glaring issue. It's hard not to wonder if I was brushed off because I'm a woman. Im not the type to take someone's word without checking. This felt either lazy or deliberately dishonest. Fast forward to October 11, I came back for what I assumed would be a simple oil change. I'd already paid $130 for the lacking diagnostic, I believe I was informed with my initial quote that would go towards other services. Nope. They charged another $160. But I didn't have the energy to argue and I was planning to bring up the ducts. No one mentioned them... not even when I asked if there were any other issues. So I walked outside opened the hood pointed at the ripped hose and asked "What's this, and why wasn't it in my diagnostic?" The man looks me dead in the eye and says, "Oh, that's not really a big deal... most people don't fix that." Excuse me? I paid for a diagnosis and someone decided this shouldn't be included. Make it make sense. After pressing, he admits it should be replaced... something I already knew since I'd ordered both ducts for $30 online. Then he gives me a verbal quote of $55. I ask him to print it (because I'm not doing he said she said). He writes it up adding "no labor charge" like he's doing me a favor. I already had both parts sitting in my car. When I got home, I realized the quote was for one side the one I'd pointed at. Both were torn. At this point, I've lost all trust in this location. They're not transparent, not thorough, and the way they handled my situation was insulting. I hoped I could trust them with my car, but instead I learned a hard lesson. I'll now personally verify every service I pay for. If you rely on shops for maintenance.. open your hood. Watch a few videos. Understand what's being done before paying the "convenience" premium. Many of these fixes are simple and inexpensive. TL;DR: - Paid $130 for a "diagnostic" that missed two huge air duct tears. - Received inconsistent quotes -- price dropped $1,000 after asking for details. - No transparency or accountability. - Dismissive attitude when confronted. - Trust broken. Would not return.

Admittedly, I don't know much about cars, and I know businesses have to make their cut, but I thought their pricing was fair for the service provided.

I used to live around the corner - now I live 45 minutes away and I STILL take my car there because they have continued to be the most honest and forthright mechanic I've ever met. John is a straight shooter, they will never try to sell you on something you don't need. I left there once with a super quick "band-aid" fix on my car in order to get to work on time at NO CHARGE! John said, "come back when you have time and we'll fix this correctly". But it let me get to work which was the priority. This is when I realized they actually cared about my situation, (at the time, no money and desperate to get to work), and I've never looked back. I've read some of these 1 star reviews here and I couldn't disagree with them more. I feel like I have to apologize to those people personally because I feel so strongly about recommending Complete Automotive to everyone I meet. I would even say "tell them Paul sent you!" John will know who you mean. They charge appropriately for their services, but the work is worth it. Most of their techs have been working there as long as they've been open, over 28 years, which is a credit to the integrity of the business. My most recent trip there, I went in a for typical oil change, and John noticed a couple things to consider, (valve cover leak, busted engine mounts), but not to worry about it until really needing to. I have an extended warranty on my car and these repairs were fully covered. Plus, John gave me a loaner car while mine was in the shop, at NO CHARGE. Who does that? Complete Automotive does. And to Doreen M., they do have an indoor waiting area with a TV and very comfortable couches. Highest recommendation for an auto mechanic! Tell them Paul sent you! Seriously!
