I over filled my Audi's Q5 oil this past weekend, and the car started shaking and I was terrified I ruined my car.

This is the type of service and business we are missing these days. I appreciate you all! Thanks so much for your help.

Very poor customer service. Went in for a simple emissions inspection. They claimed that it failed,…read morebut still charged me for it. Sent me to a dealership "to fix the problem with my car's computer system". After going to a dealer's shop and paying $125 for their diagnostic and a second emission test, which passed, the dealer suggested that I go back to SL Hills for a refund, because their state-emission tester was faulty. (It happens to the dealer on occasion, so they get a replacement.) Eric, the owner at SL Hills, said that it was the state's machine, and it wasn't his problem if their machine was faulty. Would not give me a refund for the inspection, much less any compensation for the other $100+ that I spent without cause. I won't ever be going back. Any customer looking for helpful customer relations/service and accountability for their work should also look elsewhere, IMHO.

I am never concerned that I'm being taken, and that's so important for a woman walking into a car repair shop.

I recently had my EV towed to Union Weber Auto Care because I had a flat tire and no spare. The…read moremechanic found that I had a bolt in my tire and thought it was unrepairable. With my permission, they ordered two new tires which were available the very next day at the shop. That morning I received a call from Mark, that in reviewing the flat tire again he thought he could plug the tire, which he did saving me hundreds of dollars and requiring them to return the two new tires. Who does this? They are incredibly honest and have gained my trust and loyalty. Oh, and the tire patch is working great a month later!

I had a really good experience here. My car's AC went out (mid July in stl- love that for me) and…read moresearched Yelp for spots to get it fixed. BBAC caught my eye from all the reviews of happy customers, being responsibly priced, and close-ish to my house. I called and made an appointment, they got me in fairly quickly (within 2-3 days). After dropping it off, I received a text with the estimate and okayed it right then and there. I needed a new hose/ ac system. I loved this easy way of communication. It was expensive, but after comparing prices with other spots and doing my research, it was a bit less than what others have been charged for the same. It was ready the next day, and it was so nice to have a fully working ac in the heat again. I've had no issues since. Cars aren't fun to fix and spend money on, but I feel like this was as painless as it could have been. I'd definitely return for services!

I called Big Bend Auto Center to get an estimate for a brake job--what a frustrating experience…read more First off, they don't give estimates over the phone, which is fair. So, I scheduled an appointment for Thursday. However, the person I spoke with had a really unpleasant attitude. He kept questioning whether I had the right place, repeating, "We're Big Bend Auto Center, not the other Big Bend Auto store." Why would I be calling if I wasn't sure? It came off as condescending. Then he told me I couldn't wait for my car, and when I asked again--just to clarify if I could wait while they did the estimate--he rudely said no. At that point, I decided to take my business elsewhere. If you can't treat your customers with basic respect, why would I trust you with my car? It's disappointing, especially since they have decent reviews on Yelp and Google. I expected better. Unfortunately, my experience was the complete opposite.
