She explained the process of performing a diagnostic test and the charge. If any repairs were required and done she would credit me whatever the balance from the difference was. Perfect! Well she and her crew were able find and fix the problem. No more check engine light and the car runs great! If you're in search of a trustworthy mechanic I would recommend this place. Riley was nice and friendly and very professional. She always kept me informed on the status of my car. I know that's what she is supposed to do but not everyone does it. This is an independently owned shop and this a small business. So please support small businesses. Thanks for your interest. Please be kind and take care.

Many years ago, my 2013 Accord, which was out of the factory warranty, needed the VTC replaced.

Most recently, when my vehicle needed an ABS module repair, instead of Derek and his wife taking the opportunity to make money on a costly repair, they put me in contact with an individual who was able to repair my existing module for a fraction of the cost.

But I care about value and quality and I'm switching over to Martin taking my cars there now. Let me also add that his communication with me BEFORE I became a customer was excellent. It says a lot about him as a person. Even if you're not in the area, it'd worth the drive. Just set an appointment ahead of time and you'll be more than satisfied with the service!

Even though I have kept up with the proper maintenance service for its transmission it began to fail at 145K miles. I did the 3X3 fluid changes, cleaned all solenoid screens, cleaned and tested all solenoids and replaced pressure switches. I have also replaced the external spin on transmission filter. There is an internal filter that cannot be replaced unless the transmission is taken down and disassembled. I did my research 2 years ago for the eventual replacement of my original transmission. H&A came up, with some reviews here and from the Acurazine forum that I follow. Those guys recommend the AV6 swap, which also worked. I was more interested in keeping an all parts original car. I contacted H&A directly to get more information about the remanufacturing process. Andrea and Debbie from customer service provided me information on highly rated installer near me. I also spoke to Freddie who is the shop foreman. He answered my questions regarding clutch pack materials, the oil jet cooler that was installed in the 2004 recall. He went on to explain the machining process, and the addition of a metal sleeve on the case. They also agreed to use my original core which I preferred. H&A picked up my core, and delivered the remanufactured unit a few days later. I had Acura of Glendale do the take down and re-installation. Everything went as planned. On schedule, and no surprises. I had them replace the 2 transmission mounts and the rear main seal as well. The car drives as I remember it when new! All the shift point are spot on. The grip on each gear was firm. No leaks. I had the service manager take pictures of the remanufactured unit prior to install. It was clean. I can actually see all the pen markings on the bolt heads, meaning those were properly torqued. I wish I can add those pictures to this post. It has been 3 months since the repair. We have taken the car on long road trips out of town. I am confident to drive it anywhere. We are so happy with the outcome. Kudos to H&A for a job well done. Albert
