    Transmission bolts  fully tightened but sticking out cause their placed in the WRONG LOCATIONS... cause of weird noise.
    Javier R.

    Yes this "rEpAiR" happened a while ago but it took that long for me to come back MULTIPLE TIMES to fix this shooty job and to take it to another mechanic who pointed out what you guys did... and what kind of argument is that? UPDATE: The replacement Fan Shroud with built-in radiator reservoir slipt and started to leak... it was a CHEAP aftermarket part which I had to replace with an OEM part... I would of rather you had asked if I'd pay more to get am OEM part... I had already paid more for an "upgraded clutch" which now is squeaking ‍... DONT BRING YOUR CAR HERE 2nd UPDATE - Was just messaged by the business simply to tell me "You should be ashamed of yourself"... like really?! this business messed up and did crappy work with cheap parts, I tried to let them fix it 3 times until I gave up and settled to only find out how bad they did the work after taking it to a real mechanic shop months later for a simple break change (Riverside Metro Auto Group)... and instead of replying to say they would at least try and make things right or put my damn transmission bolts in the correct place I get 1. A none reply trying to disqualify my complaint cause it didn't happen this week 2. A emotional private message to try and Shame me for sharing my bad experience... way to treat the customer you screwed over... hopefully others will take heed and avoid you guys

    Damaged rotors from using old pads then making me come back another weekend to get new pads.
    Jeremy S.

    Avoid this place--it's a classic bait and switch. They used poor-quality parts, replaced things that didn't need replacing, and even installed the wrong parts. I went in to have my back rotors turned and new pads installed. When I picked up my car, I was shocked to see a bill for brand new pads and rotors all around! They tripled my original bill and acted like I was the problem when I questioned the charges. One month later, I returned because the front disks were making noise when stopping. I was told the front pads were no good. I asked, "Which pads did you replace?" and was told just the front ones. But I pointed out that they had replaced pads all around, so if the front pads were bad, what about the back ones? The mechanic claimed the back pads were fine. What good is a warranty if you can't trust them to do the work properly? A year later, I took my car to a new mechanic who informed me that the pads installed by this shop were semi-metallic, while ceramic pads should have been used. As a result, those incorrect pads had been damaging my brand-new rotors for the past year. Now, I had to replace both the rotors and pads--something that could have been avoided if the right pads were used. I could have had the rotors turned, and I only needed to replace the pads once or twice. Not now! Run from this place, it's everything you think a nightmare shop would be.

    This is my 2020 gmc canyon that the water pump and thermostat was changed,  can't really get a picture of repair

    My 2020 gmc canyon water pump went bad, blew at 2am while going to work, started the research and yelp for mechanics/garage for cost and availability, Js garage responds very quickly and Nicky gave me a flat cost of $550, i research them as well and despite some people's bad reviews and looking at so many good reviews with many customers bringing there cars for services for 3, 5, 10, and also saw one for 25 years going there, the price was good and so I brought my truck there, staff was very friendly, Joseph was so helpful, kind, honest and just a overall outstanding person, prices are very reasonable and also asked to have thermostat changed as well because well the whole water pump is being replaced and the thermostat housing is attached on the back of it, so they got that done as well, knowone tried to up sale me and the thermostat was not the problem but I wanted it changed because it was 6 years old along with the bad water pump, I was so impressed with everything that this is where my business belongs, blessings upon blessings J's garage

    Price was fair. Only downside was I had to go back twice for them to adjust a brake dust shield they bent that caused scraping noises

    Joe even put in gasket that was not part of the scope just because he saw it having some leak.

    I haven't needed any transmission work done in quite a while so I didn't know what to expect price…read morewise. I usually do my own filters and fluid. I limped my truck in, they diagnosed it quickly, quoted me a fair price, did the work quickly and for the price quoted. Very happy customer- highly recommend.

    These guys really helped me out! My car was diagnosed at a different shop needing a transmission…read morereplacement. The car was jerk-stopping while driving with no check engine light. Since the car had 95K miles I did not want to put a used transmission in it since the car had low miles. For me it would either be a rebuild or a remanufactured trans. The remanufactured trans were not available so it narrowed it down to a rebuild option that the original diagnosing shop would not be able to do. I called Rich at Riverside Transmission Center and made an appointment to have the car checked out. I had it towed in at lunchtime on Friday and he would check it out the same day. He called at the end of Friday to let me know that they needed another hour on Monday morning to be sure. It was no problem for me. Rich called on that Monday and told me that he hooked up a computer to the OBDII port and noticed that the speed reading on the computer was different than the speedometer. He then gave me good news that the issue was likely a speed sensor and I might not have to change the transmission after all. I gave him the OK to change the speed sensor and worked fine after that. Thanks Rich for saving me a transmission replacement! Five stars!

    Was seeking out an independent shop now that my vehicle has entered its triple-digit mileage era…read moreand needs a little more TLC on regular maintenance. Got recommendations to visit Harvey's Autotech as they are a known and reliable shop. I called in for an appointment a few days prior and got to bring my car in for some maintenance work. Came in, they inspected my vehicle, gave their diagnosis and decided on the work to be done. Harvey's is fair-priced and the work seems good. My vehicle's been running very well since. It's a family-owned shop, but also has that big shop feel. The advisors up front are helpful and friendly. I worked with Daniel and he was knowledgeable and answered any questions I had. Thanks for being a good neighborhood auto shop!

    UPDATE May 27, 2021 Harvey called and apologized. (I thought…read morehe retired but is still involved.) We discussed the brake issue and we are both baffled as to why they failed. But they seem to be okay now. As for the charge for the engine analysis, he stated there should never have been a charge for that and issued a refund to my card. Just happy Harvey is still the reliable, ethical business man I have known all these years. I will continue having my vehicles serviced there. May 26, 2026 Been using Harvy's Auto Tech since 1996. Aways great service. . . Until this last visit. It's time to do the brakes again and get an engine analyst for blue smoke coming from the exhaust. * The brake job was completed. o The brakes failed within 20 miles. The vehicle was towed back to Harvey's and repaired. It has been four days now and seems to be OK. * The analysis on the engine. o I was told the smoke is probably due to rings and/or valve seats. Well, Duh! I already knew that. o They did not pull plugs or do a compression check, or anything else that I am aware of. Tried to sell me on a used or crate engine. o A waste of two hundred bucks for an analysis that didn't happen. * What they couldn't explain is why the dash cam was disconnected. o It records the driver and audio, so... your guess is as good as mine. This is the first time in thirty years that I felt I was at a "Fast Charlie's Repair Shop". Definitely not the Harvey's I am used to.
