Had a transmission leak in November. My 2006 Mazda 3 sedan which had over 213000 miles on it. So…read morenot surprising was told needed to replace it. Steve and his crew replced it in a couple of days. Left with it then suddenly the engine light went on. So they checked on it January. Replaced a sensor and adjusted idle. Still it came back on. After a couple of weeks they sent to a neighboring auto shop to check it out. The reason I point this out is that it was just coincidence that this engine light occurrence happened and they took the time to try to figure it out without billing me. In fact they were going to pay for the diagnostic check through the other mechanic. When I found out the occurrence was not related to transmission replacement I said don't let them pay for the diagnostic check I'd take care of it. They went above and beyond. Awesome service...

I had the car parked for 2-3 weeks after, Massive trans fluid / power steering fluid leak. They worked on both, could have been either. I called back to see if they could readdress the issues that were just worked on. I was then explained that the previous owner had left and there was a new CA BAR number and they had no responsibility to repair it but they would look at it and possibly assist. So I towed it over and they proceeded to quote me 2500 more to fix the things they were supposed to fix previously. I don't know if these guys are working a scheme to get new owners in every couple years so they can't be sued. Its just a shame that they are the reason you have a hard time trusting repair shops. The give honest shops a bad name. Due your own research, make your own choice. But don't say I didn't try warning everyone.

Once he had our car taken apart, he had us trapped. The prices Rob promised kept going up, and the stories became more questionable. He miraculously found a low cost transmission in Sun Valley. He sent us to pick it up, which we see now was a set up. When we delivered it, he found it was damaged. Both he and the parts seller claimed we damaged it. It just got worse from there. Rob is a very charming guy, but a total scam artist. His real goal is to destroy your car and then offer to buy it dirt cheap. STAY AWAY.

Who could ask for more than that?
