I've used Hobson's for years to service my cars but noticed declining service quality and rising…read moreprices since the COVID-19 pandemic. Despite that I decided to take my 2009 Toyota Matrix for an oil change, tire rotation, and AC recharge. I agreed to an AC diagnostic fee of $139.95, with no issues found, and an AC recharge fee of $145.00. Three days later I took the car for a ride to check the AC function. After an hour, the AC started blowing warm air again. On top of that, a hubcap fell off because the person who did the tire rotation did not reinstall them properly. I took the car back to Hobson's to find out what was wrong since he had just diagnosed the Air Conditioner during my first visit. Mr. Hobson said the AC compressor was faulty and needed replacement. I'm not sure why the diagnostics did not find this issue, but I had him replace it. After the compressor was replaced I left the facility only to find the horn was not working so I immediately returned to Hobson's to get that fixed. This raised major concerns about workmanship. Finally, a short week later, the vehicle overheated on a dangerously busy bridge due to a failed compressor pulley and broken fan belt. When this happened, I did not have the car towed back to Hobson's for him to fix it due to a lack of trust and the poor workmanship Mr. Hobson and his staff performed during two prior visits. I decided to take the car to a different mechanic who was highly recommended. This mechanic found the issue with the new compressor was due to two bolts on the compressor head coming loose and wedging into the fan belt pulley causing the pulley to stop turning and belt breakage, which lead to overheating and coil pack damage. This was because Hobson's replaced my compressor with a cheap Chinese part for which he charged $720.00. Similar compressors are available for under $175.00 on Amazon: AC Compressor Fit for Corolla 2009-2010 1.8L L4, Matrix 2009-2010, Matrix 2012-2012, xD 2008-2014, A/C Air Conditioning Compressors with Clutch Replace for 8831002370, 8831002450. A conversation with Mr. Hobson after the incident ended without compromise or a refund offer, as Mr. Hobson insisted that I should have given him a third chance to fix the AC correctly. More importantly, he ignored the poor service I received despite the pledge in his ad to, "only do necessary work, we never overcharge, and we guarantee the job will be done right." I did take the defective part back to Hobson's hoping Mr. Hobson would refund me the money I paid for the part. He did not. What he did was get me a new compressor that is now my responsibility to sell somewhere to try and recoup part of my loss. If it were me, I would have refunded the client the cost of the bad part, in my case, $720.00. You can use Hobson's for your car repairs if you choose. Please understand the service has gone downhill and the prices are going up. In addition, Mr. Hobson does not honor his pledge to guarantee the job will be done right.

Yeah i had to wait about a week because they are a very very busy shop and i wanted the job done right. One week later I got my Trooper back and very happy. They back up their work with a 2 year or 24k mile warranty. Very good. If your car's transmission dies on you, I highly recommend Snyders Transmission. Thanks Tom

I am extremely disappointed with my experience at this auto repair shop. From the beginning,…read morecommunication was poor and customer service was lacking. I was never provided with an estimate for the repairs. I was told that parts needed to be ordered, but after that, I received no updates regarding the status of my vehicle or any delays. The shop never called to explain what was happening. Every update I received came only because I contacted them myself. Being left completely in the dark about the progress of my vehicle was frustrating and unprofessional. Customers should not have to repeatedly chase down information about repairs that are being performed on their own vehicle. The lack of communication and transparency left me questioning whether I was being treated fairly. While I cannot say for certain why this occurred, the experience was concerning enough that it made me wonder if bias may have played a role in how I was treated. I expected honesty, communication, and respect as a customer. Unfortunately, this shop failed to meet those basic expectations, and I would not recommend them based on my experience. It took two trips and $50.00 to receive absolutely no resolution to the issues on the Air Lift system for my 2020 Dodge Challenger. Thanks for nothing Aaron's!
