    My Jeep received new gears and it's awesome. No leaks or issues and done "on time and on budget." There's a phrase that is disappearing in this current era. Mike runs a great shop and takes care of what he says. He keeps getting great reviews, he's a true mechanic and not a parts replacement only facility... you know, the places that only do what the computer read-out states. Mike knows how to diagnose situations and have solutions... "it doesn't work right at home, but when you take to the other shops it doesn't do it and they tell you the computer says nothing to fix." This place does their homework and presents options. Plus, they don't estimate one price and screw you when you come pick it up, with a totally inflated final price (as we know many do.) Pipe Dream keeps you in the loop as the process evolves. If there are issues along the way, you get a call with options (one size doesn't fit ever situation.) And he builds some really custom rigs and upgrades! This is a great place when you need a project taken care of, the first time.

    Mike did a great job building up the engine on my 1967 Dart. He collaborated with an outside third party for me to get parts and got the job done within the budget he gave me and in the time frame he agreed to. I would highly recommend him, he is a very talented individual.

    MIKE does amazing work. He is honest and really knows his stuff. He built my Jeep and is building my new Bronco. There's not another shop in the Coachella Valley I would go to after finding MIKE and Pipe Dreams in Palm Desert. Thanks MIKE!

    Thank you mike for doing a great job with my Jeep! Done on time and under budget. Solid work! Installed a lift kit and found the exact rims I wanted. Price was under what I was quoted and even had it detailed! Highly recommended

    I have a custom frame for a 58 Chevy P/U and had the brake lines done by Mike. I'm very happy with the work. Looks very clean!

    I initially came here because it was one of the only places nearby open on the weekends, but Rich…read moreand Rich have officially become my go-to. This was my second time bringing my car in, and both times I genuinely felt taken care of. Rich Jr. was so kind and patient answering my thousand questions of, "Okay, but what does this part do?" Both times I've had car trouble, they've been incredibly quick to diagnose and fix the issue and were able to help me right away. I also really appreciate how mindful they are of costs adding up. They were honest about what repairs were more urgent and what could safely wait, rather than making me feel like I needed to do everything at once. Really trustworthy, kind people and great service. I'm so glad I found them!

    This was our second time here dropping the car off for a quick check up on something and let me…read moresay, they are great. Rich and Rich Jr are the best. Father and son duo who know their crafts and are very sweet to add to that. Not only them, but everyone there. There's places where you walk in and you could already feel the ick factor. Well here, it's like walking into a place and you're automatically friends with everyone. Great customer service the whole way. Both time with the car, they took care of everything fast and efficiently. We called last minute which they were pretty busy but were able to drop the car off. A few hours later, got the call to come pick it up. They are efficient and professional. Knowing that we have a place that will take care of our car in the desert, it's a good thing. I've recommended them to people who's asked if we know anyone. Sometimes you want to gate keep but this place, it's totally with sharing with everyone. Highly recommend them with your car services.

    Ran over a bag of plastic on the freeway and AAA towed me to this shop since I'm not familiar with…read morethe area and it was the closest one. The plastic had damaged a seal and my truck was leaking transmission fluid. Pete's was booked for the day (it was already like 2:45pm) but he took my truck anyways. I didn't have a phone charger with me, the office lady offered hers. They shuttled me to walmart and back to the shop. It was done by 4:15 and they didn't overcharge at all. If I ever need something and I'm in the area again I will definitely go back there!

    Well, I bought a car from this shop…read more. It's been a decent enough car. No issues for 6months. Then the engine light came on. (P0330 knock sensor, with IMMOBILIZER & C1724, C1725,C1725,C1726 wheel dampeners) I didn't suspect the knock sensors, due to the sudden nature of the codes AND the perfectly harmonious running motor while at idle.. among other things. Anyway, I had it towed over due the car being familiar to him.. even previously owned by a relative of his.. if I'm not mistaken. So... while it was in his possession, he managed to tear one of my intake boots, (and duct taped the HELL out of it. (But, "NO CHARGE" on the invoice for the tape job ...I wonder why?) Also, come to find out he also snapped the hose connection on my Vacuum switching solenoid, and on my surge tank for the EGR system. (likely) when I refused the $2,000 repair.. He knew he had to cover it up somehow, and "wrote it off" on the report as "more error codes due to the P0330 code being on for a long period of time." And even felt the need to stipulate (for no reason, in particular) that the p.s.i. Was at perfect reading when tested. YOU KNOW THAT WAS BULLSHIT PETE! Because you busted the line trying to pull it off. Yes it was brittle.. anyone could have done it.. but just own your s%#+, man. Thanks for NOT charging me for "that" part of it. (Conveniently). It's almost as is your conscience DID feel something? ..if only briefly... I know better than to argue with a liar. I learned the difference between a MECHANIC and a TECHNICIAN. a long time ago. They reveal themselves QUICKLY when you have your own; professional diagnostics tool & access to alldata. ALL SAID AND DONE.. I paid the $500 he wanted for basically confirming my own diagnosis, and for his labor to break more things on my car. As I pulled away from the shop I had WORSE engine power issues, and (2) more dash lights. upon removing my intake system, i immediately found my broken surge tank. And VSS lines. Not only that. this crook didn't even apply my full AAA discount. He gave me 6.00 off of a $500 bill. (roughly 1%) People. Believe me when I say.. this shop has NO MORAL COMPASS. Absolutely won't hesitate to run up your bill And has ZERO accountability for their mistakes. Little does he know, I was once a certified technician. And know very well.. EXACTLY what he did. His report tells SO much more than he intended. the vehicle the he, himself, sold me. (for blue book value). Turned out to be an un-insurable, TOTALED OUT, and completely worthless. Although, I'll admit, it's a decent ride if you're okay with an uninsurable Lexus That no one will insure beyond bottom dollar liability coverage. he definitely sold me up on the price. Overpaid by at least $1000. So.. I didn't want to spend more than $500 at a shop (especially if I can't insure it for that amount) But he seemingly planned to tear it down on the assumption I WOULD PAY.. until I called and stopped him.. he was likely was already prepping to charge me for the pieces he broke too... but then decided to just fake it, and slap it back together. Even Duct taped my intake boot like a true mechanic. and charged me for this shitty service. WELL DONE PETE, you have shown your cards. I'm calling you out on your bulls$&% service. You can keep my money. i Truly hope it lives on your conscience, too. You know what you did. That's why your quote was upwards of $2k! You knew I'd have to get those (2) parts.. plus my sensors.. etc. Never again! I will get my car back to top condition just fine. all by myself. I apologize for thinking you might have been a stand up guy. And don't worry about those extra codes either! I can clear those as well, sir! Enjoy that hard earned money! I hope you understand that you did that to a wildfire victim, and father of 3 Young children.. who happens to be currently on unemployment with mounting hospital bills for his 6yr daughters cancer treatment. not to worry though, our fearless liar and thief.... I mean commander and chief, is looking out for us blue collar workers. everything will be alright. My hats off to you, sir! (Round of applause) Sincerely, -SJ
