My truck was towed in on a Friday after talking with a man named Nick who sent what seemed to be a…read morefair estimate at the time. Nick later told me that I didn't need an alternator replaced but instead a new battery. He then sent a new estimate which was even more than the previous one. I felt like I was being taken advantage of and told him not to do any further work. I then asked what I owed at that time. He said that they changed out the battery and it was $400. They charged me $400 to swap my car battery...that to me is outrageous !!!!

I had an electrical issue with my vehicle so I bought it to them, they diagnosed it and said it was…read morethe battery and tune up.after paying $300 2 months later the issue came back.. I went back, because I was under the impression they would gurantee their work, since its the same issue they said they repaired. My main complaint was, instead of trying to see what the problem may have been. Or to see maybe its something they may had missed. The gentleman started to quote me 100 dollars an hour for all the issues, to a total of 300. So after failing to identify my issue that my car was in the first place.

I would definitely come back here if I needed it (I live in Fairbanks, and I was in the Anchorage area for a long-recovery medical operation during these necessary fixes). Also, I would vouch for the quality of workmanship and general professionalism of this business overall. Finally, the family-run ambiance of this mechanic shop is always refreshing, as I'm personally used to American-corporatism, an experience I earned from recently spending at least ten years in the lower 48.

We took our car to Cliff Barney and gave him a large down payment of $10,000 to start the project…read more Cliff did not contact us regularly so we started asking for updates on progress at about the 6 month mark. We learned he had just recently moved the car into the back shop and we were able to meet with him and observed that at that point he had only disassembled the interior and cleaned out the trunk. My husband contacted him frequently asking for updates and was given one excuse after another why he wasn't further along or why he couldn't do the work and he would ask for more time. Eventually he stopped answering calls and text messages and would hide or not answer the door when my husband tried to contact him about the car. On one such occasion Cliff did not answer text messages or calls so my husband went to the shop and another "employee" let him in to look at the car. At this point Cliff had the car for a year and my husband verified that Cliff didn't get any further than the interior and trunk. My husband tried to contact Cliff several times to get the car and the money back, but Cliff refused to respond. We were eventually able to contact him by using a different phone number, and were able to get the car back, but he refused to refund any of the money stating that he no longer had it. He didn't seem at all bothered by the prospect of having a small claim filed against him which leads me to believe this is not the first time he has done this. We believe that once he spent our money elsewhere, he had no intention of completing the work on our car, and he basically stole our money.
