Given his reputation, he was already fully booked. Yet, since it was an engine light notification, he let me come in as soon as I called him. He ran the diagnostic screen, found that it was nothing to be concerned about (probably a faulty sensor code issue), and sent me on my way. He brought me peace of mind without having to wait weeks for a mechanic to check out my car. I'm so grateful. Mahalo nui John!

I'm writing this as a repeat customer, which is why this experience was so disappointing…read more We recently decided to hold off on a repair for our van. Earlier that day, my husband was on the phone with the mechanic and asked whether he could text that same number to follow up. The mechanic answered, "You're talking to me, right?" so my husband texted to let him know we were holding off on the work. We had no way of knowing it was the shop's landline, and it was never mentioned. A week later, the mechanic called asking if we were still bringing the van in. When I explained that we had already texted to cancel, he became short and dismissive, told me he had blocked off the entire day, and waved off the fact that we had reached out by saying, "Yeah, you texted the shop phone." When I pointed out that he had told my husband to use that number, he said "yeah, yeah" and hung up on me. I understand that a last-minute change can be frustrating for a business, and if there was a mix-up about which number to use, that is worth clarifying for future customers. But responding to a paying customer by talking over them and hanging up is not professional. We won't be returning. Good mechanics are worth keeping, but basic respect for your customers should come standard.

77 days. That's how long Master Auto Center had my 2010 Camaro…read more I brought it in on April 23rd for an engine shutoff issue, AC problems, suspension, and steering concerns. I wanted to support local. I came back for a third time believing they'd deliver. Third time was not the charm. They told me the battery was too weak to even begin diagnosis, and quoted me a price that sent me straight to Costco for a much better deal. Once that was sorted, they diagnosed a P0601, a corrupted ECM, and recommended a repair-and-return service through a company called GOECM for $772. I did my research, pushed back, asked the right questions, and they assured me it was the right call. Weeks passed. The GOECM unit arrived. They installed it. The car wouldn't start, not because of the original problem, but because GOECM sent a blank, improperly cloned module that threw three new security lockdown codes: U0100, P0513, and P1613. My car was now more broken than when I dropped it off. In fact, it wouldn't even start. Now here's where it gets good. When I went in person to check on my car after two months, I found food wrappers, napkins, plastic utensils, and soy sauce packets inside my vehicle. Someone was fine dining in my car, truly having an exquisite time at my Camaro's expense. On top of that, for the entire duration my car sat there, the doors and windows were left open. When I showed up I found actual paw prints inside and outside of my car, because apparently whatever animal wanted to sleep in my Camaro for two months was welcome to do so. They tried a locksmith. Couldn't fix it. They tried GOECM again. Couldn't fix it. Eventually my car had to be towed to a dealership because nobody else could touch it. The dealer confirmed the GOECM unit was defective and that I needed a brand new OEM ECM at $1,838.85 just for that alone. The total bill climbed from $1,363 to $3,589. When I finally got the car back, it was returned with oil and grease on the interior, sticky surfaces, debris everywhere, and I kid you not, a piece of a plastic fork still sitting inside. The exterior had grime and oil still stuck to it from the shop. The AC blower motor they replaced, which is what controls airflow through your vents, now runs louder than it ever should coming off a fresh install. They also quietly slipped 1.5 hours of "special cut out labor" onto the final invoice that was never discussed or approved beforehand. And the steering? Stiffer than before I brought it in. Nobody mentioned it, nobody explained it. The suspension was never fixed either. Both were on the original concern list. I think they just wanted me and my car gone, so they waived those charges and called it a day. To be fair, the ECM works now and the AC was serviced. So it's not zero stars. But 77 days, a defective third party part, a tow to the dealer, a $2,200 price jump, animals living in my car, someone's soy sauce and fork left behind, and steering that's worse than before? That's a 1 star experience. These guys? Trust them to top off your fluids and swap an air filter. Anything beyond that, heed the other low reviews on here. Or don't. I'm not your dad.

The new owner is running things a bit differently, and I'm unsure of the experience of his team. Several of the adjacent shops recently closed and were still vacant. I'm not sure what the future holds for this building. Positives The new owner seems to be fully staffed. They check in your car and enter it into a database. They appear competent and efficient. However, I did not have any major repairs today. Today, I did an oil change and safety check, and it came out to a little over $140. ($30 for the safety check.) They seem to be relatively busy, and we have serviced all three of our vehicles here. It appears that they are set up to do most servicing and repairs. I will update my review if I need to do something other than an oil change. Negatives They accept credit cards, but I found out that they add a 3% surcharge. Unfortunately, I was informed about the charge as he was running the card. I offered to pay with my debit card, but he said it was too late. He simply tried to push the cancel button repeatedly and said, "Sorry." Suggestion For better customer service, he should have offered to do a refund and then use my debit card. Also, post a sign at the counter about new policies or charges.
