The inspections they perform are also unmatched. Providing their findings and recommendations using pictures and organized categories based on priority is very helpful when it comes to making decisions. I rarely go out of my way to make reviews and had to provide feedback on my experience because this company/location takes care of their customers.

I Yelped for quotes on alternator repair; CBA was one of the providers Yelp suggested. I don't…read morerecommend them. Period. Summary: Cost -- 30% - 50% higher higher than other providers. Communication -- slow to respond, several instances of completely ignoring my contacts / questions. They didn't offer critical info / details when it should have been provided. Time Issues -- took my car in midmorning Thursday and didn't get it back until midday the following Monday. A five hour wait just to hear confirmation the problem was the alternator, which could have been provided in less than half hour. Details: COST: $1616 total for alternator replacement. $447 for remanufactured alternator. $94 for 2 gallons of antifreeze. A new alternator can be had for less (half the) money. They didn't offer / discuss any options on this choice of parts. Not typical in my experience. There's a spectrum of quality and cost on any auto part, so usually parts choice usually involves a discussion. Nope, the topic of choices didn't come up. They'll likely say the couldn't offer their "3 year warranty" on a cheaper part. Blah blah blah. Ask me if there's choices on what it costs me, don't assume. And $94 for 2 gallons of coolant?!? It's currently $10 / gal. from Walmart. So, a 400% markup? This gets to me because it's so obvious a gouging. It makes me wonder -- Where else I'm being gouged that's not something I can readily see??? Anyway, let's review CBA website where it's gushing about having my "best interests in mind", shall we? A 400% mark-up is needlessly not in my best interests. Anyway, from other shops I got repair estimates (parts + labor) ranging from mid-$700's to $1100. Brakes Plus quoted me (in person -- after the fact) "out the door" of $868. So, yeah, I got gouged going with CBA. COMMUNICATION: Besides the Yelp project no responses, my texting with them (at their promoting me to text any questions) was unsatisfactory. Unprompt responses, no responses to at least half my my texts. Ignoring a question altogether? Sheesh. TIME ISSUES: They were all over me checking in my car ASAP, which ended up being 10:30. 'They'd do the diagnostic and get back with me.' Well, my timeline experience with repair like this: Tech plugs in the code reader, gets the codes, looks up them. 10 minutes for that. Lookup parts + labor costs. 10 more minutes? Gives me a call. If it's reasonable, I approve it and they start the work. Tech calls me if there's something else to discuss / suggest. We talk it over, but meanwhile the repair doesn't get put off. But with CBS an hour after the check-in (they were in a helpful hurry to do), I texted them. "Are you sending the diagnosis?" 30 minutes later: "Yes'. Well, FIVE hours after check-in, they finally text " your report is ready." 'Yes, it's the alternator, plus here's the diagnostic list (inferred: of everything else we want to sell you).' Service manager calls me, we review the report that LISTED NO COSTS AT ALL (yes , I'm yelling -- this is not "transparency" [a word they toss about a lot], this is manipulation). My wife and I understood him to say the cost would be $1018 or something close to that. I say something like, "Okay, do the repair. Send me a breakdown of all the other stuff. It's so close to closing time you won't get the alternator done tonight, so I have time to look over the list and see what else I might approve, right?" He agrees, "Yes, take your time." Subsequently I looked at the separate report with actual estimates. Shocking. The "$1018" was actually $1564. I made the mistake of hesitating to approve the repair, result of which bumped me behind another car. Final result -- they had my car from 10:30 on Thursday until midday on Monday -- for a 4-6 hour job. There's more I could gripe about, but I'll shut up now. Bottom line, I understand making a profit, but this profit was out of line. I will say that everyone was very pleasant to interact with. But someone can be nice to your face and still be less than competent in helping you. Someone can act friendly even while over charging you. Fun Fact: they sent me Tell Us How We Did link before they had even done the repair. I went to use the link a day or two after I had my car back. But the link had expired. I'd rather have given them a chance to address things in private but I got timed out -- in error, I'd say.

I got what I paid for and it needed some TLC mechanically. When I took it to Honda to get an oil change, they advised me that it had an oil leak and needed an inspection to the tune of $250 to diagnose the problem. I reached out to a friend who is car-savvy for advice on where to take it, and he pointed me here. The scheduler was super friendly and efficient and got me on the books a few days after my call. The vibe was completely different than the dealership, as I felt like the folks at Max Automotive genuinely cared about getting me taken care of and figuring what the issue was with the vehicle. They also understood that at over 20 years old and nearly 200,000 miles, I wasn't going to perform any heroics for this car. We came up with a good plan to keep the car running for as long as possible with as minimal maintenance as possible. I look forward to working with the team here for maintenance of my new old car.

The check engine light had also been on in my Jeep, so I had them check that out as well. It was Friday when they told me they could order the part my Jeep needed to be delivered by Sunday. They asked if I could prepay for half of the part/services, so I did, which should have been the first red flag. They told me to drop my car off Monday morning, and it would take around an hour - an hour and a half to install. I dropped by car off around 8:00 a.m. I finally called the shop back around 12:30 because I hadn't received an update. I called four times with no answer, then left a message. When they called me back, they said the part would actually be delivered Wednesday, which surprised me because they should have told me when I dropped my car off that the part didn't arrive Sunday. They said they were talking to the dealer to try to get the part sooner. I asked for them to call me back with an update. They still didn't call back. I had to call again. To which they said the part was actually showing up wrong on the website, and I needed a different part, and there was going to be a price change. I said just order the part, but if it can't get done on Monday or Tuesday morning, I'll have to pick the car back up and have it installed another time. They said they would call the dealer again to see when the correct part would arrive and call me back with an update. Yet again, no call back. I finally called again around 4:30 p.m. and asked for an update. They said that the correct part is actually a kit with 20 different parts that I should just source on eBay because it would be cheaper. They were zero help. I had to call for an update every time. Each time, they told me something different. It just seemed like they were lying on top of lies and could not keep up. They seemed to have no idea what was actually going on with my car, and they had multiple opportunities to be honest. When I picked up the car, I expressed my concerns about the situation. My car was in the shop for over 24 hours for no reason, I paid for ubers, and pre-paid for this service all for nothing. Their reasoning for not giving me updates was that they only had one person working in the shop. He also became defensive and said "Did I not leave you a voicemail??" Yes, you did. But that was after I called 4 times asking for an update. These people don't know what they are doing, and they have horrible customer service skills. I should've said no from the beginning when they asked for payment upfront. And before they comment and say "we don't have records of you in our system" the car was under my husband's name, Wyatt :) EDITED: The shop reached out to clarify my concerns. As indicated in their reply, I asked how the fact my car is a hybrid was missed considering I told them it was a hybrid, and they stated in their reply that is the root cause. Their response was that the dealer gave them two options and they ordered the somewhat readily available one. AKA they didn't check to make sure it would work with the hybrid. Yet another instance of inconsistent communication and incorrect information provided in their reply below. The root cause was not the vehicle is a hybrid. It was that they didn't pay attention. Also, since they want to talk about phone records, mine show the following: I called at 12:15, 12:20, and 12:25. I left a voicemail. I received a call back at 12:49. I called immediately back at 12:50. I had to call again at 1:26 for an update. They didn't call back until 3:19. I had to call again at 4:20 p.m. This is consistent with what I explained above. Their pettiness just goes to show they only care about their image and not their customers or their vehicles.
