My problem wasn't diagnosed during the first visit & the alarm light was no longer showing so they…read moreonly charged 100.00 (on top of the $290 something that I had to pay just to bring it in.) Within a mile of driving it the light was back on, I had scheduled another appointment for a week later for something unrelated. When I came in for that appointment (which included a diagnosis) they said that they couldn't diagnose it & that I would have to make a separate appointment & pay for them to address something that they didn't initially take care of. When they called to give me the diagnosis for the second visit, there was something fishy about how it was being handled & I was told that one repair would cost over $2000.00 & a second repair would cost over $5000.00 & the story kept changing (plus I was told that my car wasn't safe to drive.) I wasn't having any issues with my car until they told me during the first visit where they never fixed what it was brought in there in the first place. I read some negative reviews that described my situation to a "t" so I told them that I wasn't having any going to get a second opinion. They called backed twice trying to scare me into getting my car repaired by them. Even when I came in that first time I didn't feel like they gave much regard to me with regards to customer service, it was more about what was convenient for them & I was dismissed.

Honest-1 (the District Manager) tells me that there is a "hole IN my flex pipe" and that the y-pipe is in really bad condition. He tells me that instead of paying $637, I should replace the y-pipe as well because it's not going to last me and I should just pay the $700. He told me I should make an appointment to get it done asap. He kept asking me "how about tomorrow", "how about Thursday"... I asked him to show me the hold in my flex pipe, but he wouldn't. I wasn't feeling to good about this. When I walked in to Honest-1 Auto Care (Ogden and Eola in Aurora), I immediately got a bad vibe. Can't really place it, but my gut felt something wasn't right about this place. Now, I'm female and over 50....don't know too much about cars but my gut had a feeling that because, 1) they would NOT take me to look under my car when I asked them (when they had it up in the air) and 2) the jargon they started mumbling about, trying to confuse me, felt off. I attached a picture of the real problem with my car. DO. NOT. GO to Honest-1. Had I not had that gut feeling and went with them, I'd be out a whole lot of money. They should change the name of their damn business!!! Epilogue: I took my vehicle to a place in Lombard for an estimate on referral from a friend. This auto care that I went to in Lombard took me under my car and showed me exactly what was wrong. He told me that the flex pipe did NOT have a hole in it and it just needed welding. He also showed me the y-pipe, which was in great condition as well. It ended up costing me $180! Please, save yourself some money - do not go to them - and I know the name is attractive and all, but they were all about the money.

I feel bad writing this updated review because I have mixed feelings about PW Auto Clinic. (Know…read morethat many of the reviews here are for the previous business at this location - The Car Clinic). The steering wheel power telescoping feature on my 2013 Ford F150 failed. I took it to PW Auto Clinic and when I explained the problem in plain English what the problem was, the mechanic simply couldn't understand what I was talking about. I explained the problem repeatedly but he didn't understand what I was saying even though it was simply that the power steering wheel would not telescope. Even so, I got an estimate for $1,300. (Plus $150 for the diagnosis for a total of #1,450.00) I contacted the manager and he said to bring it back in so he could check it out himself. I had informed him that I found out that the mechanism can jam and sent him a link to a video that described how to fix the jam. He then sent me a video clip of him loosening a nut to free up the jam but it was clearly the wrong nut - the one for the tilt feature which works perfectly, not the telescoping feature. But he thought that the telescoping motor was burned out and needed to be replaced because it pulled a lot of amperage. But pulling high amperage can also mean that it's just jammed. I pointed that out to him but he never responded. By then, I had lost confidence in PG Auto Clinic So I took the truck to BSG Automotive in Yorkville. We went out to breakfast while they looked at the truck. I returned within an hour and my truck was in the parking lot already and the diagnosis was completed. In less than an hour, they did the following: They removed the telescoping motor and tested it. It was hot. So they put it in a freezer to cool it down but when they bench tested it, it heated up again and the bi-metallic circuit protector tripped so they knew the motor was, indeed, bad. But if PW Auto Clinic just replaced it would have burned out again because the root of the problem was that the mechanism was jammed. BSG then (all in less than one hour) removed the entire mechanism, freed it up so it's working perfectly again and re-installed it and the bad motor temporarily and ordered a new motor. The total parts and labor cost is $700 not including the $100 diagnosis fee. Bottom line: Diagnosis was $50 less than PW Auto Clinic and the repair cost $600 less. On top of that, PW Auto Clinic misdiagnosed the problem and, again, if they had just replaced the motor, it would have burned out again because the root cause was the jammed mechanism that I suggested was the root cause of the motor failure. BSG did a full and detailed diagnosis in less than one hour and fixed the root cause of the problem. When the manager sent me the video of him working the wrong nut, I texted him to let him know it was the wrong nut. He didn't reply at all. I didn't like that and it felt like he was giving me the proverbial finger. That's when I decided to take the truck somewhere else and I'm glad I did. BSG was incredibly fast and thorough, they found the root cause of the problem and they are charging much less for the job. I used to recommend the Car Clinic to everyone but I can't confidently do that now since it's PW Auto Clinic based on my experience with them. (Again, keep in mind that some of the Yelp reviews for PW Auto Clinic are for The Car Clinic previously at the same location.) On the other hand, everyone I talked to at PW Auto Clinic was very nice. Too bad the mechanic couldn't understand the problem. Too bad they misdiagnosed the problem and too bad they charged me 50% more for the a misdiagnosis and would have charged me $600 more to replace the motor which probably would have burned out again because they didn't find the jammed mechanism while BSG found it immediately and fixed it during the diagnosis. I'm saving $650.00 total by having BSG do the repair (correctly) rather than PW Auto Clinic. It's also too bad because PW Auto Clinic is right down the road from me and it would be great to have a competent auto repair place so close by. In fairness, PW Auto Clinic might do fine work for other types of repairs but they failed with this one and they were going to charge much more for the repair than BSG is charging me to fix the problem correctly. That price difference alone tells me to look elsewhere in the future.

Now, I took my car in to see what was wrong with my engine as it sounded like it was misfiring…read moreperhaps and the hood was rumbling every now and then. I just had taken the car in not too long ago for something else mind you. They did a level 1 diagnostic to see what was wrong and see what the check engine light was for. They got back to me pretty quickly and gave me the usual list of things that need to be done, the estimate was almost 800 dollars for the diagnostic and to replace spark plugs and other repairs. Which I thought was ridiculous in the first place as I decided to do it myself and get all the parts for 1/5 of that price. Mind you the job does not take that long. Problem 1. I pick up the car and one of the mechanics actually left his wrench on the upper part of my hood. I called to ask about the diagnostic so I know what exactly I'm working with, and the person on the other line goes "oh I've been meaning to call you, on of our mechanics left a wrench in your hood". You've been meaning to ? Like you knew about it and didn't say anything just yet ? Bit odd but whatever, workers shouldn't leave there stuff in customers cars anyways but it was a human mistake I get but jeez. Problem 2. I go to check my hood, found the wrench and I just happen to see definitely something odd with my wires connected to the engine. One of them looked to be CHEWED out by an animal! Obviously, definitely, if not the main issue with my car at the moment !! Of course I cannot drive on it in this condition. Upon closer look I see little droppings from a mouse or rat or some other animal and the left over rubber pieces all over the place near the wire. Go figure. Now, they did not send me any inspection report after looking into my car and they never mentioned not one piece of detail about this issue to me until I looked for myself. Granted I probably should've known before, but the LEAST they could've done was look and mention it to me instead of quoting a price and calling it a day. Left a sour taste in my mouth. I also found what looked to be a candy wrapper near the inside area where the little critter left his mess. Looked to be from a candy bar or what have you now I'm not sure if this was from the workers or something else but I sure as hell don't sit on the hood of my car and eat candy or chocolate. Overall, it was just not a great experience this time around, I'm definitely going to be looking for a new shop, I think they definitely need to be more reasonable with their prices and labor. I hope they can be more honest and transparent about issues in the future with other people, as I felt like I was left in the dark until I looked for myself. Obviously I'm not blaming them for whatever critter came and left a mess but the whole principle of just handing me an estimate without pictures of things or even an inspection report and then leaving tools in my car and giving me a ridiculous estimate for a job that can be done myself is absurd.
