    Extremely frustrated with this place which came highly recommend to me from someone who personally…read moreknows the owner. Sept 2018 I went in with overheating issues. I was told I needed to replace the water pump, thermostat, and timing belt. Paid $937. Car started overheating again. Returned it to them saying that didn't work. They looked again and told me it was my head gasket. I asked about trying block seal before I paid that much to have that work done. Block seal did not work. Car was still overheating. So I went ahead and made the appt to do the head gasket. Was told it would take 3-4 days; they had it for 9 (2 they were closed for). I was called during this time and informed that the head gasket work was finished.....but that it had overheated still and that they figured out it was the radiator. I am completely baffled that my radiator was never looked at in the first place. An easy $200 fix.....now I've paid $2,571 for things that probably wouldn't have needed to be replaced if the actual issue had been fixed. Additionally, upon picking up my vehicle I was told they also replaced the water pump and timing belt AGAIN, and was going to charge me for that AGAIN. I was told the water pump was leaking and that the timing belt just needed to be replaced in case of any damage coolant leakage could have caused. I am an extremely unhappy customer because I feel as though 1) I was taken advantage of by being told different things needed to be replaced when I don't know anything about vehicle work so I took their word for it, and/or 2) that whomever was diagnosing my car had no idea what they were doing if they just bypassed looking at my radiator as a cause of the overheating (now that I've looked online that's one of the few things that can cause overheating, so for that to be carelessly overlooked is deceiving to me). Lastly, my water pump replacement in Sept I was charged $141 and the timing belt was $83. Today on my bill the 2nd water pump attempted charge was $133 and the timing belt $70. Which means I was overcharged for the work done way back in Sept anyways. I do not recommend going here.

    They were good guys. I had a transmission go out on me, and took it to a transmission shop to…read morediagnose it. It ended up needing to be replaced vs fixed. I ended up taking it to LP vs my regular mechanics because they were near where the vehicle was, and on the recommendation of one of the trans shops I had talked to. Fun Fact: If you're replacing vs fixing, which seems to be most of what goes on nowadays, there's no reason to use a transmission specialty shop. Their rates are always higher than regular mechanics, and most regular shops can swap them fine... They just don't like actually tearing them apart and fixing them. So save yourself some money and just use your regular guy, or a shop like LP I ended up finding my own used transmission because getting a remanufactured one just didn't make sense money wise with the mileage on my rig. They were patient while I secured that and weren't trying to rush me. The guys there were cool and easy to deal with. They did the swap just fine and got my vehicle going again! They also took care of some other odds and ends I already knew about, and found out one issue I thought was one thing was actually 2 worn parts contributing to the same issue. Shop rates are reasonable compared to other places, and they did good work. I don't live near them, but would definitely take a rig back there if I ever needed to.

    Had starter replaced in a mini van, $420. Was my bill. I could buy the starter for $158, so seems…read morethey charged me $262 for labor. Once the car is off the ground it only takes 30 tob45 minutes to change the starter in this car. I was shocked, then I found out Lance had recently sold the shop. This would have never happened if Lance was there, he was always fair. I give these guys a year before they go out of business. Gonna move my business to Big Bear automotive
