I took my 2007 Toyota RAV4 in for diagnosis because it had a cylinder 4 misfire. I was charged…read more$156.00 for scanning the check engine light. I was also charged $143.56 for spark plugs, even though the same set can be purchased on Amazon for about $100. In addition, I paid $124.80 for labor to remove and replace the plugs. Overall, I feel their prices are quite high. Although this was my first experience with them, I will say that their technician seemed very genuine and clearly knowledgeable about his work, but the service is definitely expensive.

I came into Ken's Van Damme's late in the morning, the employees were very busy, with a busy schedule. The men at the front desk listen to my problem with the car, even looking over some paper work I had on some issues about the car. They were so polite and professional. I was traveling alone and after hearing that, they made it a point to fit me into their busy schedule and fix my car, they even gave me a AAA discount. I feel they were my angels. Now, I can make it back to Idaho. If you ever want a reputable, reliable mechanic shop, I would definitely take your car to them. My car now runs fabulous. I would give them 10 stars, mostly for being so trustworthy, professional. Janet Riegel

I had difficulty determining the cause of the problem. So I called and then visited a good man named Sean who is the manager at Ben's Japanese Auto Clinic.

As usual, Sean did a good repairing my rocket for a fair price. :-)

I normally took my car to the Toyota or Lexus dealership, but they were quoting me an outrageous number so I thought I would look around at local smaller own shops to find a good one. Ben's had so many good reviews and I really trusted him. He was able to take a look at it the same day I called and told me to come back in a few weeks to have the service done. Everything went great, he was super nice. Got it done in a reasonable amount of time and charged the amount he said he would. Flash Forward to a few weeks ago, I noticed some weird jolting when the car is shifting gears so I took my car in to Toyota, got an inspection and a transmission fluid change. They told me it was way under filled, the fluid was a dark black color. They told me whoever did the last service on my vehicle with the transmission underfilled it severely. The technician told me it's basically a waiting game to see if my transmission is going to have lots of issues or not. Now I am having a ton of transmission issues and I am needing a new one. I would never recommend anyone to come here.

I called ahead and requested to pay over the phone since I was walking my reactive puppy to pick up my vehicle but he refused stating that they are all "dog people." Dude was printing up a receipt and attempted to up charge me $7. He acted surprised as if the something was accidently added to my bill. Being a single female I felt taken advantage of. I try giving people the benefit of the doubt, especially since covid, but this guy surely was a scammer. All this bs at the counter while my puppy barked and lunged at all the "dog-people" there. Super awkward and untrustworthy experience. Would not recommend to anyone.
