Oil on the driveway. Ugh…read more Called some friends to get a recommendation for a local shop. One said that Scott from Sunland was the guy. We had the car towed over (2018 Ford Fusion Hybrid), and they diagnosed the problem and repaired the issue quickly and at a fair price. Unfortunately, the tech made a small mistake and once we got the car home, there was more oil on the driveway and a check engine light. Ugh, again. So we called back to Scott to see what he wanted us to do. We understand that sometimes mistakes are made and issues arise. How a business owner handles those issues are the difference between good businesses and great ones. This is a great one. Scott was MUCH more upset than we were! He got us back in same day and fixed the issue at no charge! (We should have paid for a necessary part, but he would not charge us.) With everything so expensive these days, and everyone trying to stretch a buck, it's hard to know if you're leaving your car with someone who cares about it as much as you do. Scott does. I cannot recommend this shop highly enough!

I am learning I can't believe artificially inflated reviews on Yelp - because of these positive…read morereviews, I've been going to Sunland for years. I realized that outside of the most basic work (like breaks, fluids or shock changes), they are not the place to go. When I have issues and take a car in, I leave with the very same issues, but I think they are taken care of. I have multiple cars now which fall into this category. The most recent is a Ford Expedition with a leak. $1500 into the work, the original problem was not solved. In fact, I now have a quote for $1900 for the remainder - when I asked why the problem wasn't solved it was 'oh we misdiagnosed it and you "Approved" the work'. They do not stand behind their misdiagnosis. I have not had this issue elsewhere- dealerships or other big-box repair shops. Another situation - I went in for a check engine light; they replaced a spark plug. The same thing is still occurring even now after my car has had all of its spark plugs changed, and I personally found a broken air hose in the engine and fixed it myself. They went with the computer code but never actually diagnosed the problem. I'm not driving rare cars. When I reflect back on previous cars I've had issues with, the same pattern occurs - I take it in, the problem is not fixed, I am quoted a large estimate, I buy another car - the savings I perceived to have were never worth it. Consider this when you go in.

Mike sent several apologies and went above and beyond what most business owners would do in a situation such as this. - He refunded me for the missed alignment and the cost of the new tire. To find this kind of honesty is rare and it proves that he operates his business with integrity. Knowing this, I would not hesitate to bring my vehicle directly to Mike in the future if need be. Mistakes happen, and he was quick to correct it. Thank you, Mike! ********************************************************* My husband brought my car over to AZ Automasters in February of 2024. We had never been there before, but I had just had new control arms and ball joints put in and since the tires were also brand new, my mechanic who did that work recommended an alignment. AZ Automasters kept the car overnight and my husband picked it up the following day. My husband stated that he asked the employees if the alignment was off and by how much, and that no one could answer his questions or seemed to "know anything about anything." But he did say that the employees working the morning he picked it up were not the same ones who were working when he dropped it off. He didn't leave feeling super confident but they said the car was done so he left and that was that. This car is kept in a garage, has not been in any accidents, hit any curbs or anything of that nature, and is well loved. I have put 8000 miles on the vehicle since the alignment. The other day we realized that the tires should probably be rotated and were horrified to notice that the outside of the passenger front tire was completely bald, the inside of the tire barely worn. We went over to where we purchased the tires as they are warranteed to 80,000 miles, but because they deemed it an "alignment issue", I had to purchase a brand new tire out of pocket. Not only did I waste $118.00 at AZ Automasters as they did not complete the alignment I paid for, I'm out an additional $145 for a new tire and still need to get the car aligned. I'll certainly be getting alignment, but it won't be at AZ Automasters. *Edit* I just had a front end alignment at a reputable shop where the employees actually care about their customers. They had to take a torch to the tie-rod jam nuts as they were totally locked up on both sides. This would NOT have had to be done had AZ Automasters done the work they were paid to do a year and a half ago. Also, this shop, who did the alignment using lasers, was able to show us via computer what they adjusted and how much, which AZ Automasters could not do for us. And this new place was cheaper! Lesson learned to shop around!

They got me in quickly, were incredibly friendly from the moment I walked in, and took the time to thoroughly check everything out.

What really stood out to me is that they fixed the issue right then and there and didn't charge me anything. That level of honesty and integrity is rare these days. As a woman, it can sometimes feel intimidating trying to find an auto shop you can truly trust. At Crawford's, I felt completely comfortable, respected, and confident that I was being treated fairly, no upselling, no pressure, just genuine help.

I ended up looking at Hyundai Ioniq 5 N (yes the fast version) before stopping here for 2023 Genesis GV60 Performance. Let me just say, this is by far THE BEST experience. I was able to walk in (no appointment needed) and Christian M was able to help me right away. A quick ID scan and he came back just gave me the keys I'm like what?!? I'm not used to this level of customer service. He gave me quick directions for the test drive route and I was able to follow it step by step by myself. I say the only negative about this place is the lot, they have many vehicles and parking/spaces are limited. As for the vehicle, it was nice and I would jump on it if it wasn't a buyback (branded title) Now I already knew this vehicle is branded before stopping by. I wanted to see if I can find out more on the reason why it was a buyback other than charging issue. Sadly the paperwork didn't provide the additional info. Should you get a buyback? That really depends. The price is GREAT no doubt and if you plan on KEEPING the vehicle long term (as the resale value is a lot lower, do a quick check via CarMax or Carvana), don't mind dealing with potential electricial issues (but they should be cover under warranty) But knowing myself I usually don't keep vehicles longer than a few years. Also I would double check your insurance and make sure it doesn't cost extra. And at the time I haven't driven the Kia EV6 GT (the original vehicle I was looking at) so I ended up passing on this. Also wanted to point out they have the lowest Doc fee that I've ran into ($299) here vs other dealers wanted $699. No add-ons, title fee is $19. Very low sales pressure, extremely friendly staff, I would stop by again in the future when I'm looking for another vehicle.

Raul was called as one of the businesses to discuss rebuilding a 283 CI V8 in a 69 C Chevy…read more In picking up the vehicle, after Raul told me it was ready. I only made it out of town 20 miles and it quit running, so I pulled over, stopped, and towed it home. This started an expensive fix in which Raul stated my warranty was in place but he wouldn't cover the problem that came up. The problem was that the number two exhaust rocker stud pulled out enough to have the rocker move aside. In summary I found that the number 6 spark plug was not tightened in place. Also the intake bolts which were to discussed to move to all number M8, I found that the intakes had 11 M8, and one M10. I found that one of the holes between number 3 and 5 was drilled in error, and a M10 put in place, because the ship and sailed for a M8 and now an M10 to fix the error. Raul converted to me that all I intake bolts were M8 size and never made mention of this mistake that would cause all the holes to go to M10. What Raul refused to do was fix the head because of the rocker stud pulling out so I in turn with a disability severe pain and the difficulty to even get up in the morning was now my responsibility to try and do this myself because I have limited funds and saved for years to get this done. I had to service each boss, and drill and pin all of them to avoid future breakdowns. I was able to pound the number two exhaust rocker stud back into the boss, and drill and pin that as well. When I picked up the truck, I found it odd to have one intake bolt an Allen bolt,and all the other intake bolts, standard socket head. After taking the intake off, the aforementioned, I found that I had M8 on all intake bolt holes, but one of them for the number four cylinder that was loose, and another was an M10, aforementioned between 3 and 5 cylinders. The M10 shows evidence of being drilled and then stuffed with an oversized bolt to hide their mistake. This wasn't obvious until after the intake was taken off. I discussed and mentioned that I was changing all the intakes from 3/8 to M8 originally, aforementioned, and Raul stated clear understanding. I explained for his understanding that intake bolts being 3/8" to a M8, after mentioned, is only a couple of thousands and you complete service without drilling, and using a M8 tap directly into the 3/8 holes that were being fixed. This was clearly mentioned to Raul. I'm sure he was aware of this and did he decided not to fix this, hide it, and aforementioned, he told me, sincerely and without a doubt, All intake bolts were updated to M8 and found to be a lie. It's still usable but you can't drill out those holes and more and and this limits the surface life of this block. And not giving a warranty to this head problem such as a pulled rocker stud, based on my discussions with other, professionals, business people, and friends, who believed strongly that he should have warrantied this. Travel time, wear and tear, gas, and time. I mentioned to him that I had severe back trouble and for him to treat me like this is just wrong. I relied on friends and family to help with this and it's taken forever to get this done because I can't just have everybody come help me every moment that I need them to get anything accomplished on this. A good amount of time has passed, and that time cannot be recovered. I'm out time, the cost of drill bits that are hardened,and pins. A gasket set, and bolts which have to be zinc hardened, and must be M10 1.5 by 30 to 33 mm which are about a hundred bucks. I wondered why, when I picked it up, he dropped the bill from 5900 to like 5200 and handed me back $700. I know he must have felt guilty, he could not tell me what the problems were, and he's been unprofessional to not warranty this and take care of the problem himself. So if Raul does good jobs for a lot of people he fell short with me and this is why I'm leaving this note because I want people to be aware that this happened and that he's allowed me to have pain suffering monetary loss and time that cannot be recovered, but instead he didn't care. I read the reviews before I came to him and saw some that were questionable but most were happy to have Raul do the work. I am trying to be nice, clear, and impactful for you to understand that directions that you give Raul may not always be followed, and any of those directions that he may hand out to his employees, well you know the risk, and if they screw up your block or miss a drill or tap, I would hope for a better outcome, but this report is to show how he did not help with a better outcome. You deserve this Raul and I hope you the best in the future because what I found shows deceit poor execution of instructions lying and failure to be professional in making a customer happy.
