    I needed and oil change and a diagnosis of what was wrong with my lights (my brights would come on…read morewhen I would use my turn signal). I agreed over the phone on a price of $59.99 for oil change and simple diagnosis. When we got the phone call that our car was finished we were told the tire needed to be repaired and that I could use a new air filter. Upon picking up the car the bill was $163. The tire was repaired without my consent and a new air filter was put in. I could have got the tire fixed at canadian tire for free because I have warranty on my tires from there. If you choose to go to speedy auto make sure you are clear on what you want them to do because they will fix things that don't need to be fixed and expect you to pay for everything they choose to add on.

    if I could give these guys a negative zero review I would. I had my van towed there and they didn't…read moreeven look at it or try to start it in anyway after overheating. They immediately told me I needed a new carburetor before that they could even figure out what the real problem is then he continue to tell me that the carburetter alone just the part is $1300. That is a total scam and they're just trying to take advantage of me because I'm a woman. My boyfriend called them afterwards and they had a different story. THEN they made me wait for a few more hours only to wait for their call they hadn't even looked at it again they were waiting for me to say yes to the part before they looked any further . I'll take it to somebody else trustworthy and that you guys should be ashamed of yourselves. Total waste of time and a tow this is such a bullshit shop They didn't even look at it for 20 minutes before they try to charge me $1000 on top of what the cost is not to mention all the labour on top of that and then God knows what else they would've told me I needed replacing too. after I told them I know how much a new carb costs they were so rude to me didn't even put my doghouse back on properly and damaged my rug I custom put in there that I specifically asked them to please be careful with. it's a custom boogie van. do not let these guys scam you especially if you're a woman. they should be ashamed of themselves . All the guys at Lordco laughed when I told them that and said wow what a joke as well as the other mechanic shops I contacted too. that is outrageous he said the PART ALONE 1300$. not cost of labour and then adjusting it would be all on top of that lol fuck these guys . He even said he could possibly rebuild it it might be slightly cheaper lmao at lordco it's a 350 part And I doubt I even need one.

    After servicing my transmission my car immediately started making a transmission noise while…read moredriving, they told me it had nothing to do with them so I took the car to the dealership where they found out that they did not fill the transmission to the correct level. after adding 1.5 liters of fluid the car now drives and shifts perfectly just like before bringing it to Westshore transmission I called them today to let them know what happened and they hung up the phone and refused to even listen to my complain.

    They were my primary mechanics for years, but over the last one or two years their quality and…read moreservice have started to dip. I brought in my car to have the steering fixed, and they forgot to replace the panel underneath the steering column. Unfortunately due to its location I never noticed until much later. A year later I brought it in to have a windshield wiper motor replaced, it was replaced but misaligned, and the wiper arc didn't cover some of the windshield. I brought it in again to have that fixed and the transmission looked at, as the transmission was starting to experience issues. They told me it might be fixed by replacing the transmission fluid, which they did, but they charged me for fixing the windshield wiper misalignment, which was their mistake to begin with! Finally, two weeks after they replaced the transmission fluid, the transmission failed completely. I'm a bit resentful about this, I feel a mechanic should know that a transmission problem (one severe enough to render the car eventually undrivable after two weeks) couldn't be solved by just replacing the fluid. They replaced the transmission, and it works fine now, but: - The steering wheel cowling wasn't fastened properly, and slid down to block the gas pedal while my wife was on the highway. - They replaced the clutch, despite it being only a year old and my requesting they not do that during the estimate. - When I brought their attention to the panel missing from underneath the steering wheel (which they had neglected to replace from the steering job) the mechanic just shrugged and said he had noticed it missing from the 'bad' job done on the steering, completely oblivious that it was their previous work. - They charged me again for new transmission fluid. Admittedly I don't know if the fluid can be retained or not, but given the cost of replacing the transmission + their faulty assumption about the new fluid fixing things to begin with, it just felt like a poke in the eye.

    I took my beloved 2017 Ram 3500 to Barrett based on reading their reviews. The truck had 830,000…read moremiles on it when they serviced the Aisin Transmission, which is the original and never rebuilt. I noticed when I picked the truck up that the water and fuel light was on and I thought that was a strange coincidence. Over the years this light has come on two or three times after a car wash, and it's an easy fix to clean out the water in the sensor connection. I did that and even replaced the sensor in the rear fuel water separator. The light was still on, even though the fuel looked clean, so I ended up taking it to a shop in Oak Harbor before driving to the Tetons, as that light was bothering me. It turns out the technician at Barrett had inadvertently pinched some wires that ran along the crossmember below the transmission mount when he reattached the cross number. Thus the cause of the water and fuel light. Barrett was extremely honorable and covered the cost of those wire repairs, and the shops diagnostic fee. So the only thing I was out was the cost of a water and fuel sensor and time. At the time of this post, the truck has nearly 832,000 miles as I just did a trip to Teton Valley and back to Washington and the transmission ran beautifully. The service work the technician did was otherwise perfect and this type of mistake could happen to anyone, so I do not fault Barrett and I would gladly use them again and intend to. The fact that they honored this situation without question is an indication of a shop that has integrity.

    I'll be back with any of my transmission needs. I came in…read morewith the recommendation of several of my ASE mechanic friends from different local repair shops as I had red fluid pouring out between my tranny and motor. Mark assured me that they'll take an assessment of the issue and get back to me before doing any work. Later in the day I received a phone call from Mark. He shared with me the red fluid was not tranny fluid, however, the specialized coolant my duramax requires. He went on to describe that all fluid levels were appropriate and the tranny and transfer case were in fine shape. Despite feeling a bit embarrassed about not differentiating the difference between the tranny vs coolant fluids, I was extremely grateful that they did not take advantage of me and, instead, went on to show me where the issued was. Such honesty goes a long way these days. Based upon numerous recommendations from mechanics I trust and respect, and Barrett transmission's honesty (and the time they took to further investigate and show me the issue)., I'll be back with any transmission issues or maintenance needs that I might have. Thank you Mark and Cameron (the tech) for your professional and honest assistance. Charlie D, Ferndale

I have…read moreknown the owner of this shop since I was a kid and went to school with both of his children so taking the car to this shop was an obvious choice. After three weeks of having it, towing it to the dealership without my permission, then telling me it was going to be a $3000 repair, I was trying to get my car back and to pay them for the work they had done diagnosing and the labour costs but intended on taking it to another shop for a second opinion. Instead, I got screamed at by two grown men and the cops called on me because I refused to leave before knowing when I would have my car back (keep in mind, I was 17 and 5'2" at the time) . I ended up selling the car for LESS THAN HALF of what I bought it for to compensate for what I thought would be a big repair for the new owner. Turns out, the new owner fixed it in less than a week for $35!!!!! Not only did I lose over $3000 in the process from shop fees to selling it, I no longer feel comfortable or SAFE going to the adjacent gas station. I wish I could give this shop no stars. If you want to walk away with all your time, money, and tears, DO NOT GO HERE!!!

We discuss the best type of oil (normal versus synthetic) and the guy told me found the normal one was maybe a better deal after all. So I took the appointment and he note "regular oil". The week after, I went for my appointment, it took 1:15 to change my oil and at the end ask me to pay 124$ FOR AND OIL CHANGE!!!!! Because they put synthetic oil in my car and never ask what I want or check the appointment... I was very unhappy about that! They charge me 76$ of synthetic oil?!!?!! Won't go back at this garage again!!
