Beware: Dishonest Pricing and Unreliable Service…read more I came to TYC to get both my front axles replaced. I asked for a quote and was told $390 for labor (for both axles), plus the cost of parts. I also informed the owner that a dealership had diagnosed bad subframe bushings and recommended replacing the entire suspension subframe. He told me that wasn't necessary and said he would call me later with the price for the parts. Later that day, I looked up the parts myself--Duralast Gold axles from AutoZone with a lifetime warranty, $179 each. So the total cost I expected: $179 x 2 + $390 labor = $748 Then the owner called me and said the aftermarket (non-OEM) parts would be $289 each, bringing the total to a whopping $968. Keep in mind: this is still for aftermarket parts, not OEM. I told him I'd bring my own parts instead. He AGREED to install them for $390 in labor. I dropped my car off and left it overnight. The next day, he called me claiming the passenger side axle was the wrong part. He told me if I brought the correct part, he'd install it for free. I still paid the full $390 for just the one axle replacement. Here's the kicker: I took the "wrong" part back to AutoZone. They double-checked the part number, make, model, and confirmed it was the correct part ‍. I'm not some clueless car owner--I'm an X-ray engineer. I research for a living. A couple days later, I returned to TYC with the same "correct" part. This time, the mechanic refused to install it, saying the bearing was the wrong size and insisted I had to buy an axle from the dealer. Why should I pay for dealer parts at an independent shop? If I wanted to throw money away, I would've gone to the dealership in the first place. The whole point of going to a non-dealer shop is to save money. I returned the axle to AutoZone and got a refund. By this point, I'd wasted a ton of time, gas, and energy--and I never got the second axle replaced. In short: * Dishonest and inconsistent pricing * Poor communication * Refused to honor their word * Wasted my time and money I won't be returning, and I strongly recommend you take your business elsewhere

They pay attention to detail, explain things in a way that makes sense, and most importantly -- they get the job done right. Whether it's routine maintenance, unexpected repairs, or a major issue that needs immediate attention, they handle it with confidence and professionalism.

I hope Rick has a good attorney! We pull into the shop and…read morehe's literally working on my car and we could see him before we turned into the driveway. I truly came being open, honest, and calm...he immediately skips pleasantries and just like other reviews mention, he was so upset about my review. He takes us to the car and blames me, talks down to me, mansplains to me about the amount of oil in my car! I checked it 3 times before it went to his lil shop and so did my boyfriend and there was hardly any oil on the dipstick! He checks the oil in front of us and there's suddenly a generous amount on the dipstick and he claimed to not have touched it! We literally saw you all up under the hood Rick! Are you okay?? With your handkerchief in hand...like please...just...stop. I kept my composure still and let him make a case for me. He hauls up my Mustang and her starter was just hanging down from the car! I immediately ask what that's about and he's like "oh I wanted you to see it". It's covered in oil and looks horrible and I doubt it the brightest idea to be lifting my car up and down like his personal elevator with the starter hanging like that! Is this some secret horror reality show?? Am I being punked? Is he Ashton Kutcher in disguise? Like this is madness and it gets worse! So there's a bunch of oil all over the undercarriage dripping still! It only took 3 trips for them to finally say there's a rear main seal leak!! $1,500! I ask for an estimate on the starter and he said it's totally fine! how?? I'm literally fighting back tears and ask him why he didn't he listen to what me and my boyfriend said about this exact leak from day 1?? He then gets so defensive and condescending to me and my poor mother! He blamed my mom after I had to take a moment aside to not lose my sh**. He gets on my mom, "what did you say to her??" All aggressive. He literally watched me walk away from where the three of us were standing! Why would he ask her that when he was standing right there and I walked away? When did she have a chance to "say something" to me? At this point we both are feeling uncomfortable and honestly unsafe with how he was acting. Car had issues on my way home. Mind you Rick said my car is safe to drive! He also told my mom that he has lots of other customers who are driving around all the time with oil leaks! But are they asthmatics with serious health problems breathing in emissions that could cause long term damage to them, the public, and the environment? I truly hope not. That's so dangerous. Rick calls me as I'm driving home to say something about him talking to his tech about the undercarriage and I asked to clarify if it was cleaned off at all or not and he said no so I hung up on him. He kept calling me and I didn't answer, I just was so disturbed by all this. He then sends 2 texts that contradict each other and don't even make sense! He also says he doesn't know 100% if there a rear seal oil leak!!! The next morning then claims there is a leak! I'll attach these texts. He also called my boyfriend who has no ownership over my car that I own the title to! What do they call men who disrespect women and force their will on them by not respecting clear boundaries of not wanting to communicate when I hung up on him?? Rick will do anything to avoid taking accountability for ANYTHING, he shifts blame on to customers, is defensive, aggressive, dishonest, gaslights, and as you see in the texts plays the victim. Classic traits of a narcissist so he definitely will not be able to prioritize the well being of his own business by taking care of his customers. I wish I had read these reviews before taking my car here. I will be making more reviews anywhere I can to warn people and I will update this again after my car is thoroughly inspected by an actual expert this week and further action started being taken before my car even left Rick's shop. My bf and inspected the car after all that and he went and cleaned the fresh pools of oils all over the transmission and above the starter. For my specific vehicle, a brake vacuum pump is the number one cause for oil in the starter and rear main seal leak is the last our 4 main causes for that happening. He only cleaned where the oil STILL leaking would be their fault from a poor repair and the timeline of new symptoms match that as well. He lied repeatedly and so defensively about not seeing the oil in those areas I mentioned and he even cleaned that all up! Then lied about cleaning it up! My bf and I found a chunk of wood lodged in to the exact part he wanted to over charge me on! I sent him a picture of it too and he conveniently didn't acknowledge it. Was that because you get so bitter about reviews Rick? Did you want to cause my car to have problems and put my safety in danger? It's so apparent in your loooong review responses to any bit of criticism or dissatisfied customers, hearing the uncomfortable truths bothers you. Just not enough to actually change sadly.

Drop your car off, walk around the community, or support the other local businesses in the area, then come back and pick up your vehicle.
