1 star I normally…read moredon't leave reviews like this, but what bothers me most is the lack of accountability. About three years ago, I had my transmission replaced here on my 2014 Chevy Silverado, and the transmission cooler was replaced as part of that work. Recently, while diagnosing an A/C refrigerant leak, I removed the front grille and discovered that the bottom of the transmission cooler had never been properly secured. The lower mounting points were left unsupported, which allowed the cooler to move backward and make contact with the A/C condenser. Over time, that contact damaged the condenser and eventually rubbed/dented through it, causing the refrigerant leak I was trying to diagnose. I have pictures clearly showing the unsupported lower mounts as well as the damage and leak directly behind the transmission cooler. I understand that the repair was done three years ago, and I wasn't expecting anyone to blindly warranty an old repair. I had already purchased a new condenser myself. What I wanted was some accountability and help making the situation right, especially considering that the damage resulted from a component they installed not being properly secured. Mistakes happen. I understand that completely. What determines my opinion of a business is how they handle a mistake once it is brought to their attention. If I made a mistake in my own work that caused someone additional damage, I would acknowledge it and do what I reasonably could to make it right. Unfortunately, that was not my experience here. The refusal to take any responsibility for the missing lower support/mounting of the transmission cooler is why I'm leaving a one-star review.

I apologize ahead of time for the long review, but hopefully this will show what a great mechanic…read moreDave is. By far the best mechanic we have ever met. We have used Dave for multiple vehicles with different issues. I brought in a 2006 Hyundai Sonata that had a ton of issues. He told me that he could fix it, but it would not be cost-effective for me when the repairs cost more than the car itself since it's an older car. He also let me know that after the repair was done, another part could fail shortly after due to the condition of the car. He was extremely honest and you could tell right away he knew what he was doing. He said he would gladly do the work if I wanted but said if I was in a position to look for a new car, I should do that. We ended up buying a new vehicle and when that vehicle needed new brakes, we brought it in. He quoted me a price and when I came to pick up the car, my invoice was significantly less than what he had originally quoted. I can honestly say I've never had somebody charge less than the quote. He said it took less labor than what was listed and it was an easy job. I then brought a vehicle in for a leak and he told me how my husband could fix the leak at home and then I could come back and he would fix it if we couldn't do it ourselves. I really appreciated that he could have immediately charged me to do the fix rather than told me that but instead he tried to help us out. We ended up not being able to fix it ourselves and went back to him. His quote was very fair, and for the exact same repair the dealership had quoted me FIVE times the amount that Dave did it for. I can't stress enough to go here for anything minor or major. In this world honesty and fairness seem to be hard to find, but not at Independent. Also, he is the only person in the shop, so if he doesn't answer leave a message or stop by!

Affordable at first thought it was still an exhaust leak, but their attempt to fix it that way wasn't the cure.

It's all good now and I'm no longer embarrassed to stop at an intersection and have to listen to any noises that shouldn't be there.

As a former Ford Dealership mechanic and race shop owner/builder, I rarely have work done by others…read moreand am particular when I do choose a shop, because the only reason I am bringing my auto into a shop is I don't have time to do it myself, due to my own volume of work and don't want to have to bring it back or do it myself. Tony and I spoke on the phone and he gave me a reasonable estimate and choice to use factory parts for my hub bearing on my 2003 Ford 7.3 Powerstroke diesel 4x4 and gave me a quick availability appointment. I had a number of referrals that spoke highly of his service and several were from other shops and ASE mechanics. Ironically, the one other time I had taken this truck was for it to get a pre-purchase assessment as diesels are not my specialty, so I took the truck to Red Label based on good referrals, but they missed that the brakes were almost metal to metal and the hub bearings on the way out at 154k miles, which later the medium bearing howl became a loud howl in just a few miles down the road. Those referrals to Red Label were accurate based on past experience when the owner and his core crew did the work but that has obviously changed the quality of service done in my experience and confirmed that with others who used to go there. Tony did the job on time, did better than the estimate and showed me the old hub so that I could see how the seal on the back side had dried out and let dirt and water foul the bearing and grease despite me lining it right after buying the truck, so it was a long time ago this issue started and is known to occur around 140-200k miles on this big, heavy work beasts. Unfortunately, due to the limited availability of Ford parts, Tony was only able to replace the driver side as none was available for the passenger side, in the Bay Area at that time. As I told Tony my chassis ears electronic sensors had just recently sided and I was awaiting new ones, so requested he do a diagnostic to pinpoint exactly where the bearing howl I could hear in the truck can was coming from, as chassis sounds bounce around and can sound like it coming from the left but is actually from the right. He confirms both front Bearing hubs were howling and the rear differential was howling also, (which I had hoped was just a pinion bearing and not the ring and pinion gears as that is $350 vs $3500). For the differential inspection (cover removal and back play measurement) Tony referred me to Jaws Gears in Sacramento, knowing so did not have the time or shop space to do it myself. That referral was spot on and also saved me from driving the truck any longer and taking a chance on a catastrophic on road failure that would have been much more expensive and a hassle! I spoke to the other mechanic about my Banks Monster package and Sinister aftermarket upgrades and found him very knowledgeable. I will be coming back as the mechanical knowledge of these trucks at this shop is well established, the price and accommodation of schedule are all excellent and I also am proud to support a independent and Veteran owned business!

My husband brought in his truck to replace a sensor and wiring harness. We came and picked up the truck after and it was fine for less than two weeks and the check engine light came on again. We had the truck inspected by a master tech from the dealer. NOTHING had been done. They told us the wiring harness was replaced. The truck had the same wiring harness as when we brought it in. Not even touched. Luckily our bill was only around $500. When we called in to tell them this they asked us to bring it in and that they would make it right. I spoke to Roger and Diane at the front desk. Roger said he needed to verify and inspect that himself because he didn't agree. My husband went in and they gave him back his money and said they said they didn't care if we wrote a negative review or about all the others that are blasted all over their pages.

Plus, I was going on vacation the following day. I noticed that the ride was different. The sound was different and I expressed concern to Andrew that I felt wrong tires were put on my truck. He did confirm that after researching it was a human error in ordering the replacement tires. Through many text messages and communications, he insisted that I bring the truck back to make it right. I didn't want the business to take a loss and I was content in living with the tires, but he continued to press the fact that he wanted to make it right. And, yesterday, August 3 he did make it right. He picked up my truck from my place of work and returned it shortly thereafter with a set of brand new replacement tires.
