I found Mando randomly but I am SO THANKFUL I DID!…read more I had issues with my subie overlander and he was able to take me in quick and had a decent turn around time. He's lifted my Subaru OB, added Springs to my rear and typical maintenance stuff. He's also taken care of my Promaster that's also my home on wheels. Will definitely ONLY be using him moving forward. He's honest, reassemble prices and quick. Thanks Mando!

On November 19, 2024, I entrusted my vehicle to Mando's Automotive for extensive engine repairs…read more The shop owner provided a repair estimate of $6,000, for which I paid a $3,000 deposit, with the understanding that the work would be completed within 3 weeks. The agreed-upon repairs included replacing piston rings, connecting rod bearings, resurfacing fuel injectors, and addressing issues with cylinder 3's heads and valves. December 2024: The shop requested additional money to complete the repair, claiming the need to order more parts from Audi. January 28, 2025: The owner confirmed receiving the necessary parts,  February 7th he stated he had an emergency and had to leave the country. February 21 2025: we visit the shop and I discovered my engine disassembled, with parts ordered from China rather than the promised Audi components. After expressing concern, I reluctantly agreed to have the engine reassembled, understanding I might lose the $3,000 deposit but fearing further losses. The owner promised the vehicle would be ready by March 3, 2025, along with the original contract and replaced parts. March 3rd 2025: scott from the BAR visit the shop to obtain the contract and it was closed.  Mando told him he was ill March 4, 2025: After following up, I was informed of a new issue with the rear tensioner, requiring another part. Mando claimed to have the part and promised to finish the repair.  He also confirmed he was not going to try and take any more money since he didn't complete the repairs. March 10, 2025: The shop was closed and is reportedly staying closed for the week, leaving my vehicle in pieces. I have since contacted local law enforcement, who indicated this may constitute embezzlement, and the Bureau of Automotive Repair (BAR) has already issued a citation against the shop. In the meantime: My vehicle remains undrivable and disassembled for 4 months. I had to purchase another car, spending $5,000 on alternate transportation. I am left without my $3,000 deposit, with no resolution in sight. My 2014  Audi Q7 with 109k miles current market value is approximately $10,000 I have no vehicle to this day and no one will help me.

Bad overall service. Not a bad spot to go to. But I…read morereceived a service to do a diagnostic fee to check my car all around. A service I thought would give me some intel on my truck but nothing was told at all. I took my truck to my normal house mechanic and he told me way more info and upcoming services needed etc. While here I pay 100$ for absolutely 0 information. Not happy with my service here. They also tried to say for 75$ more we can do further diagnosing. Yeah no thank you. Lady at the front was nice. Mechanic's seem nice as well. Clean shop. Iffy on mechanics knowledge and how good they are at finding actually solutions. A lot of "it might be" or "I don't know but looks like". Nothing concrete. Just my take.

They did a good job, I usually don't trust shops because so many are scams but there wasn't any weird or sketchy behavior from them.

I took my 2006 Honda Ridgeline to them to begin with. I had a catalytic converter issue with bank 1…read moreat least that's what the computer told me. The mechanic says well let's get it on the thing leave it with me for a day let's make sure that's all you have to do fine give me a call back hey yes it's Bank One order the catalytic converter $2,500 later have them put it on. Which was fine new light comes on thermostat issue took care of it two days later Bank two light comes on for catalytic converter. I didn't say much about it but I thought he was supposed to go through there really good to make sure that I wasn't paying for Bank One for no reason. As if I didn't learn my lesson brought the truck home dealt with it the way I needed to deal with it fine Bank two's bad I'll figure it out took my 2013 Lincoln MKS into the shop because it had a bad water pump. Have the tow truck deliver it when they delivered it I was there when he delivered it sunroof was closed they called me a week later and said my car was ready got in my car mechanic comes out of the back and says hey your sunroof won't close it was already closed when it got there fine didn't really worry about it too much maybe it's my issue put the car in the garage didn't take the car out until the Saturday afterwards for a friend to close my sunroof until I figure it out manually which I still haven't figured it out. It starts getting hot outside so I turn my air conditioner on guess what my air conditioner doesn't work now. Every time I said something about something being wrong with the sunroof or even the air conditioner which remember I didn't even make complaints about them not catching Bank too on the truck the mechanic says oh well the job that I had to tear half your engine apart and look on and grab your water pump from the inside which cost you $2,700 had nothing to do with the air conditioner which means he did not take a belt off of the air conditioner motor he did not touch the clutch or any of that that's what that means right so my air conditioner doesn't work. These guys are scams these guys will get your money these guys will complain and say that it has nothing to do with whatever they did when it definitely does they will never ever ever take responsibility for anything they do to your vehicle you will just be bringing your vehicle back in for them to fix it for an extra amount of money I overheard a conversation where the guy called and said you did my transmission a year ago can you take a look at it he said oh boy it's been a year yeah for $1,800 not bring it in not it could be my fault not let's see if I did something wrong nothing. So I'm going to get on High Desert Deals I'm going to get on high desert mechanics I'm going to Rally everybody together that's ever had a problem with this company from past and future and now and do something about this. After issuing them $6,000 between both cars not one mechanic said let me lift up the hood and see if I blew a fuse if I messed up the clutch in the air conditioner while taking off half of your engine to fix the water pump as far as they're concerned whatever job they did had nothing to do with what's wrong. I will also be going to Bar so if anybody has had any issues and would like to get together with me let me know. And don't be scared don't be worried about anybody retaliating against you because don't worry I got this

My parents brought in their 2015 Chevy Suburban after it gave out. Their trailer hitch cover was…read morestolen while under the care of Five Star Transmission. We have photo evidence that while the car was in their care/shop it was WITH the trailer hitch cover intact. The owner refused to take responsibility and was rude saying "well what do you want me to do". Then claims "this is what happens when I help people". Sir, you did not help anyone you were paid $5,500 for the job. The least you could do was replace a trailer hitch cover that was stolen under YOUR CARE and at YOUR shop. He claimed that he was going to look for the cover and ask his guys, and when my dad called back he got argumentative and supposedly no trailer hitch cover to be found. The 'help' they claim they did was them holding onto our car. We brought the car in and after getting the estimate from the shop and talking to our extended warranty, we couldn't afford the $1.5k something difference the warranty wasn't going to cover. They went over my dad's head and started on the job anyways!! My dad never gave verbal permission or signed any contract or agreement, that he agreed to get the car service with them. When the estimate was given to my dad by the shop, my dad let the guy know he didn't have the money to cover the difference. He said he did us a favor by not putting a lien on the car, but how would that be possible if we never signed anything agreeing to service? We didn't even know they were working on it until we were getting quotes elsewhere, and called our extended warranty and they told us they already paid Five Star Transmission for the job. My dad told the guy he was going to talk to my mom and let him know.when he called back they already started on it before anything. They jumped the gun. We were still shopping around and were going to get the car towed out of their shop but they went ahead and started service anyways. They claim my dad gave them permission (which is not true). Seems very much unprofessional and unethical to start on a $5,500 job without having to sign anything. My parents had no choice but to let them service it since they started on it anyways without their permission!!! Although we appreciate them holding onto our car for the time, being rude and refusing to replace our trailer hitch cover was unacceptable. You didn't do anyone a favor, they knew what they were doing when they jumped on a $5.5k without our permission. It would be nice to get our trailer hitch cover replaced, at least.
