Yet they did not try to pressure me into fixing it, but rather told me in a more of an off hand, oh hey by the way kind of heads up. I appreciated their honesty and the price is not a rip off either. The only downside is that they don't take appointments so it's a first come first serve situation and I had to come in on a PTO day since I want to make sure it got taken care of that day.

Autolink Repair Services - Auto Repair in Garden Grove Ca

(79 reviews)

Today is a bit of a bittersweet moment. After about 6 years of loyal customer service and about…read more$15,000 later between two cars, it was time for me to call it quits on repairing my Silverado... I don't feel bad blood or any sketchy feelings toward anybody at the shop. I just feel it's dumb luck and just plain bad luck on my part for having such a faulty truck. Everybody at the shop has done an amazing job helping me out. Will at the front counter is an amazing person who goes above and beyond to do whatever he can to make the pricing work for you.. Trey is an amazing technician who knows exactly what he's doing and sends detailed videos and reporting of everything he inspects. Unfortunately my truck started leaking and it was a faulty water pump. The same water pump I replaced 4 years ago at the exact location here at autolink. Again, I don't feel any sketchy feelings. I don't feel any kind of way. I just feel frustrated that the same water pump would go out after 4 years. I feel like something like that just doesn't happen. Even with that, I'm in a position in my life where I can't and don't have the resources to do anything further with this vehicle. About 2 weeks ago, maybe three. I replaced the complete brake system in my vehicle and it cost me about $2,000. Today I got the estimate for the water pump repair and it was $1,500. This is on the higher end of any shop repair. Again? I feel it's worth it because of the work they do, but to be honest, I feel something more should have been done to either prevent the water pump from breaking down again or getting some kind of warranty for that water pump that just happened to break down once again after 4 years. In the back of my mind, I can't stop thinking about the fact that something like this just doesn't happen that often. Water pumps don't break down that often. Anyway, that aside again, I hold no bad feelings toward this shot because I highly recommend them to everybody. They are on the higher end of the pricing ever since they started getting more clientele and more business. That is something that is to be expected I guess. Even with that, they were able to bring down the price significantly, and I appreciated it ever so much. At the same time I had to explain that at this time in my life I I can't and will not continue to repair this truck. I picked up the truck from the shop, drove it home and it's going to be sitting in my driveway for a few months until I figure out what I'm going to do with it. I have to save money to fix it because I do want to keep it and pass it down to my kid because after $15,000 worth of repairs I think it's pretty much brand new and should hold up for my son for a few years. Thank you everybody at the shop, Jay, will, Trey all the mechanics that I haven't met. They are detailed and explain what needs to be done with great reporting and paperwork. I will not be going back for a while. I'm going to save up some money. Get a new car and when the time comes I'm going to fix the truck and pass it down to my kid when he's old enough to drive. But I am seriously done with this truck. It has been nothing but a money pit. Again, I hold no bad blood, no hard feelings toward anybody at the shop. I just feel some kind of way about the same part breaking down 4 years later and me having to fix it at the exact same place with no kind of warranty.

I think they spent about 30 minutes or less on my car which is pretty fast from my experience. They didn't scratch the rims (19 inch staggered wheels like rear 255/35R19) They used torque wrenches.

At least what I was able to tackle. Finally, I needed a starter on my old Jeep Liberty and was referred to DC Electric by a friend who used them many times in the past. Like normal, I looked online for a starter and decided that I would rather support a local business and rebuild my OEM Starter. This is when I, like many others, ventured to their shop and both Chris and Al were super kind, informative, and explained that it was no big deal and they would call me in the morning. Needless to say, it was ready the next morning, looked great, works great, priced right, and I couldn't be more than happy. I felt really happy about supporting them as a local business. Further, with them taking it apart and checking it all out, would be better than buying another one online. Then, about 6 months later, I determined that my alternator was popping all these funky error codes (process of elimination). This was weird to me as I just replaced the Alternator about a year earlier with a remanufactured one that I bought from the auto parts store (prior to the starter issue noted above). I didn't even hesitate this time and decided that I was going to take it to DC Auto Electric and, once again, Al met me at the shop right before closing and explained that it might be something funky inside (brushes, etc) even though it was only about a year old. So, I left the Alternator and we discussed that we would talk in the morning. I thought about it and mentally decided that maybe I should scrap this one and just buy a BRAND NEW one that wasn't remanufactured from the store. When I spoke to Chris in the morning I was going to tell him what I decided and he told me that he already fixed it and it was ready for pick up. He showed me the worn out Brushes that were in the Remanufactured alternator (they were basically gone). Once again, super affordable, top-notch service, and I went over and picked it up. No more error codes. These guys are awesome, friendly, helpful, and I would recommend them to anyone (and have done so already). I hope they stick around for at least another 30 years. A Great Local Company!

After inspecting it, he identified damage (caused by rats) to the transmission wiring harness, which had unfortunately caused internal damage. He walked me through everything clearly and provided a very reasonable estimate for a full rebuild. Throughout the entire process, Ed was easy to communicate with, always professional, and genuinely helpful with his advice. What really stood out was how he went above and beyond after the repair.

Ed then took the time to work directly with my insurance company--providing detailed documentation and expert insight.
