Every time I would get something fixing another problem would arise a fee days later and I would bring it back in and it ended up costing me about $22,000 in total over about 2 months The last problem i had was supposedly a transmission line broke and the transmission needed to be rebuilt that cost about $6,500 I was without my van for well into 3 weeks because they said they were waiting for a part to come in for my transmission rebuild.. I finally got my van back and immediately started having problems with the way it was going into gear and shifting.. So I brought it to a dealership to get it looked at because I was tired of dealing with this mechanic shop and the amount of money I have spent there trying to get my van to work properly..it should practically be a new van .. the ac was the first job done and still having problems with that after them charging me $3,000.. Anyway back to the transmission rebuild.. Once I brought it to the dealership ,the dealership found that Empire auto care installed a junkyard Transmission in my van that had altered vin numbers and they charged me for a rebuild.. They knowingly installed a junkyard Transmission with altered vin numbers ( ground off ) with green spray paint.. Its a federal offense to tamper with any vin numbers on any Vehicle Motor Transmission I have filled a police report and filed a report with the attorney General office .. I have also hired an attorney as this place needs to be held accountable for what they have done .. This is fair warning to anyone reading this not to use this place as they come across nice but will cut corners and deceive you for profits .. They only offered to install a new transmission after getting caught so they could cover up the fact they defrauded me out of thousands of dollars... What they did to me is criminal and will be dealt with accordingly.. I would never use this place or refer them to anyone.. I don't care what it cost me they will be dealt with for doing what they did.. Installing a transmission on a vehicle where the VIN number has been obscured or removed raises serious legal and ethical concerns. A VIN is a unique identifier required by law for all vehicles and is crucial for verifying ownership, tracking vehicle history (including accidents and recalls), and preventing theft. Here's a breakdown of the potential issues and actions: Legality and risks Felony Offense: Knowingly possessing or transferring a vehicle or part with an altered or missing VIN is a serious offense in most jurisdictions, potentially resulting in jail time and hefty fines. Stolen Vehicle Presumption: A vehicle with a missing or tampered VIN is highly suspicious and could be presumed stolen until proven otherwise. Voided Sale/Title Issues: Even if not stolen, a damaged or missing VIN can create difficulties with obtaining a clear title, selling the vehicle, and insuring it. Liability for the Mechanic: A mechanic who installs parts without a valid VIN could face legal consequences, especially if the vehicle is later determined to be stolen or linked to other illegal activity.

I found this shop via a facebook ad -- and read the reviews on Yelp which were mostly 4-5 stars. I…read morebrought in my SUV for a possible throttle body problem that another shop couldn't repair. (Vehicle wouldn't drive over 10mph due to its' engine design) I also chose them because they offered free towing. I explained my problem on the phone and they said they'd do a diagnosis of their own. So had them come pick up my SUV. It took them a few days to figure it out, and they eventually they discovered it was the transmission not being able to go into 4th gear and confirmed that it was not my throttle body. Now, I needed my transmission rebuilt!! Since they had me up on the rack already and the car wouldn't drive, I didn't want to be without a vehicle for emergency reasons, so I agreed to their repair quote. (Seemingly way over priced @$99/hr labor charges). That took about a week to fix, and to their credit they even discovered that in the process of fixing it another transmission problem happened while they were repairing it and fixed that under their warranty. Much appreciated. While they had the vehicle I inquired about fixing a clicking noise from behind my dash dealing with the air flow actuators. They said they could fix it. They figured out what was wrong and got me a price -- a few hundred, but not bad considering, so I approved the additional costs. Here's how they lost 4 stars and any future business. When I came to pickup my SUV -- I noticed that the dash was damaged and had a long crack in it and a piece was chipped off. This was obviously from their attempts to diagnose and fix the air flow issue. The dash had clear signs of recent damage due to being forced or something stressing the plastic such as pressure from trying to pry off the trim, leaning or dropping something on it. When I asked them about it (Mike, owner or manager, not sure) - they said that they didn't break it and tried to explain where they actually did the work, which was in the driver's leg area. I assured them that it was not broken when the took possession of the vehicle. They refused to take ANY responsibility!!! When I pushed if they could get a replacement part they refused. Mike said they'll install the part for me for free if I found the part. They wouldn't even consider reimbursing me for the part. WTF sort of Bull Sh*t is that? So, if they accidentally punctured my gas tank would that would be my problem too??? NO! I bet they would fix it on their own and chalk that up to cost of doing business. Subsequently -- when I got home and researched how to remove this trim part - found out that it's a very easy process to remove it. It was obvious that they had NO CLUE on how to remove the trim to access behind the dash, and probably didn't even attempt to look it up online. I also discovered that a 2nd piece of trim was also damaged in attempting to make the quested repair. The worst and most insulting unprofessional part of all this is that they didn't even have the balls to let me know this happened in advance. What did they think - I wouldn't see a crack on my dash that I drive daily?? So Mike -- what do you have to say about this? It will be a cold day in hell before I use them again. I suggest you stay away too.

I needed the alternator replaced. Alex was very welcoming & asked a number of questions to make sure the problem with the car was actually the alternator. He was quick, so nice, & most of all very very honest! I've been to so many places just for an oil change and they tell me so many things are wrong with my car that need replacing, Alex is the total opposite! He lets you know exactly what's wrong with you car & only what needs to Actually be done. Also his prices are more than fair! I'm glad we finally found a mechanic near by & a great person at that! I highly recommend this place if you need anything done to/ for your vehicle! If I could I'd give this place more than 5 stars. I had a great experience & will be back for sure.

He was completely honest and upfront about what my car needed and never tried to sell me services my car doesn't need. Great experience and I would recommend him for auto repairs. 12/08/21: I brought in my car for a automatic transmission leak check. Recently, my CV axles were replaced by Tire Kingdom (What a huge mistake). So it turns out , the mechanic at tire kingdom (while replacing my CV axles), hurt the output shaft seal and therefore, transmission fluid was leaking. Alex advised me to take my car back to tire kingdom and have the shaft seal replaced, which thankfully they did . Alex saved me $200! . I highly recommend everyone to visit Alex for all your auto needs. Thank you Alex!

He makes some calls and comes back with three options, one of which is the top rated Michelin P4S which I opt for. He sends his driver over and the tires arrive in about 30 minutes. They finish the install, check the alignment, and check me out. This is a team that goes the extra mile. The waiting area is nice, free Keurig coffee maker, wi-fi and a great selection of wheels if you're looking for something new. Highly recommended.
