Kontio's was a very reliable place to go and have work done on our vehicles. Since Jeff has expanded his business, service is not what it used to be. We bought a Honda Pilot from them that they got at auction. It is 10 years old, so stuff should happen to it. My wife was driving it early July when all the lights came on, and it started losing power. She just made it home when it died. We called, and Cathy said right away it is the alternator. She has been in the car business her whole career, and really knows her stuff. They came and towed it to the garage. 2 days later, the mechanic called and said it was all set- just a bad battery. I went to pick it up and asked him twice if he was sure it wasn't the alternator. He said no- bad battery. On July 4, my wife was going up the interstate when the lights came on again. She tried to get off I-95 and make it to a safe place. The car died again out on a secondary road. The people in the house were super nice, and knew a guy with a tow truck that could take it to Robinson's garage in Lincoln. We had no choice, as it was the holiday. Robinson's called us Monday and said you have a bad alternator. They replaced it for us. When I told him what had happened before, could it have been just the battery, he said no way. It was only putting out 820, and should be around 1450 or so. There was also a bearing attached to the alternator that was shot. He said the mechanic should have seen that. We called and talked to Cathy. She said she was so sorry, and would tell Jeff when he got back, and she was sure he would be in touch. Now the end of July, and haven't heard a word from them. Needless to say, will not go back there again. If your spouse was on the road and you wanted to feel secure that the vehicle was safe, would you take a chance on them? read more
