I brought my car in because the airbag light turns on after moving the passenger seat. They scanned…read morethe car, confirmed there was an airbag issue, but offered no real diagnosis or fix. They recommended replacing the battery, charged $150 for it, and wanted another $150 just to install it. I declined the install and later confirmed that replacing the battery did NOT fix the airbag issue, making the recommendation unnecessary. They also suggested the airbag issue might be a recall, which they could have easily verified using my VIN--but it was not a recall. I also asked them to look at a rear leak and was told to pull a drain plug and then referred to a body shop because they didn't know how to fix it. I paid $120 for diagnostics and walked away with no solutions. Unfortunately, this shop has gone downhill over the past few years, declining from a great place to one with weak diagnostics and questionable recommendations. Customers who aren't car‑savvy could easily overspend here. I won't be back.

The services needed were brake lights, back-up alarm, fuel tank sensor, windshield wipers replacement, etc. These were the minor repairs and they didn't do any of these and charged for it.

It wasn't leaking oil when it went in. The bill was almost $10K. This is the worst truck repair shop in Dayton and I would advise anyone to stay as far away from this place as you can.

DO NOT...and I say DO NOT take your car to this guy. I am an 26 year Army who took my 2012 Nissan…read more370z Nismo to Josh while I was visiting my mother in Dayton. The car only need about $5000 worth of work and a spoiler added to the rear trunk. I told Josh to take his time and there was no time limit to get the car back. I returned back to my duty location in Fort Bliss, Texas in El Paso, Texas. It took him 9 months to fix what would take just 4 days to fix. I had to check in with this con artist at least 3 times a month to see where he was at. Each time he would say he is waiting on the parts to come in and he would start on it. So I grew tired of his excuses and I helped to expedite the situation. I bought the parts straight from the dealer to help him when I was in Dayton. I spent money straight out of my pocket so he wouldn't have to have any more excuses. Finally after 4 months and a surprise visit he started on the car. Needless to say he had already installed the after market rear spoiler and it was hideous and atrocious. There was paint runs everywhere and mixed paints. I was livid and he promised to correct them. It would be another 2 months before I could return back to Dayton and still the car wasn't done. The excuse this time was that he was waiting on a radiator to come in. Finally after 8 months I flew in and visited him with yet another surprise I told him to finish up and I was taking the car to the dealership and have it finished out of pocket. He was a little shocked and begged to finish the car. So out of stupidity on my behalf I let him keep the car and I would pick it up in 30 days finished. On the 30th day, I arrived to pick up the car and it was completed but the car looked like it had been completed by a high school teenager. There was over spraying on the engine, even inside of the car which pissed me off beyond words and to top it off the radiator was missing the cap. After all that this clown had the audacity to ask for $2200 for the lousy work he did. I was pissed and paid it and after 30 minutes of walking out of the office I cancelled it through my bank. I then had the car transported to local Nissan dealership. After a day the service manager called me and he laughed because the body shop had never seen such work so shoddy. But here is the highlight of the review. After I took the car to the dealership, they found something in the trunk of the car. They found a bag of marijuana and called the police because of it. Fortunately for me I had never touched the car and they traced the fingerprints back to one of the workers from Josh's auto body that was later fired I assume. Either way I almost lost my car over these worthless clowns and I had to was lucky for the court to throw this out because of my military career. The moral of the story is DO NOT take your car here. If you value your life, money, sanity, and your morals do not take your car here. You will get taken and worse you might lose your car. This guy does business with a lot of drug dealers and they keep him in business. Go somewhere else.

After a frustrating experience with a previous shop that failed to fix my car (2011 BMW 328xi), I…read moredecided to take it to Specialty Motorwerkes. From the moment my car was dropped off, the staff was professional, helpful, and friendly. They took the time to explain what was wrong with my car, what needed to be done, and why. I really appreciated their transparency and communication throughout the entire process. Not only were they easy to work with, but they also completed the repairs quickly and efficiently. Now, my car is back on the road and running well. I couldn't be happier with the service I received. Update: It's now been about 2 weeks since I got my car back and everything had been working fine, no lights on my dash whatsoever. Unfortunately ,my car broke down (went into limp mode) again. So, they fixed general issues, just not the issue causing it to breakdown. I thought about taking my car back but when my father called the first thing out of their mouths was talking about a charge for looking at it again. This being the 2nd shop I had taken it to and the 2nd time I was failed by a shop, I didn't really have the means to spend another few thousand on it. Very upsetting, I was considering this shop to be a go to for me.

Perhaps the new 'Specialty' is trying to rob customers instead of doing a fair service at a decent…read moreprice? DO NOT look at reviews older than a year; that's apparently the prior owners who actually worked with honesty and integrity. My van went in with what I already confirmed was 2 bad relays, a bad fuel pump, a leaking power steering pump (Toyota used ATF back then, which is highly corrosive) and a dead alternator from the PS leak. Unless you supply external power, it was key dead. With power, all primary safety items such as, lights, front wipers, signals, blowers front and rear, power windows & locks, buzzer, horn, and the radio work. The cruise control does not work due to an illuminated BRAKE on the gauge cluster disabling this for safety. I believe it's the emergency brake lever needing tightened, and a weak brake cable that might need replaced soon. On a bottle the van cranked started ran and held idle without issue. I- like many- assumed this was the same shop as it used to be. RUN! AVOID!! Dalton called a week after it was dropped off (and the van NEVER moved, the tires aren't marked by chalk but I confirmed their drop off position visually) and proposed orally $1197, (I repeated it twice and wrote it down) to replace the fuel pump, fix the AC (provided it didn't need an evaporator, oil to convert to R134- a common and uncomplicated process if the a/c system leaks have been remedied). I was highly concerned they didn't see the obvious ATF coating everything stemming from the PS leak, but Dalton said they'll go ahead and do the fuel pump and adjacent electrical, with the PS leak and full A/C cost TBD. Not unrealistic with a 40 year old vehicle, I figured if it needed converted to R134, they would need to replace the accumulator, need a conversion kit, have to replace any leaks in the AC system... this section was indeed left open. However... he NEVER gave the quotes in writing at this point and by law I should have been entitled to those to see what he was saying on the phone. There is ZERO POINT putting another new alternator on without actually fixing the issue. NONE! He assured me on that 8/29 that he would be directly in contact when the PS issue was verified and quoted out. Nothing for nearly another week, so on 9/3 the van again was visually confirmed as not moved. I call for a status update. No mention of the supposedly 'approved' additional charges at that time. Nothing in writing... 9/4 he calls back and the 'initial' cost somehow went up to $1917 (again- nothing was provided or agreed to in writing at this point) and now we're looking at upwards of $3200 with no guarantee of the scope or scale of repairs- saying it may end up more. What was NEVER agreed to was the fuel system costs that only NOW SUDDENLY appeared after I rejected the $3200 quote. In their system he is able to manipulate what I supposedly agreed to, to show as "agreed" and checked off. That's right- his own software gives him the ability to back up his lies!!! PROFESSIONAL CON ARTISTS!! There are zero part numbers in their supposed 'estimate.' No labor times; no credits for overlapping operations (such as if you take of an alternator, the belts already have to come off). An honest and transparent shop will always be up front with you and disclose these things. Good techs make more money by being accurate and efficient with diagnostics and repairs... So just to recap: he is demanding $685.01 for a van that has NEVER had a wrench turned. He checked off without my authorization a $467.56 charge for "additional time you approved last we spoke." Dead lie here... So I proposed 2 hours plus tax to be done as-is where-is; there was a mutual expectation up until today that I'd have a van running, starting and stopping, and at least a full picture of A/C costs estimated for somewhere in the neighborhood of $1200 plus some shop fees taxes etc. Nope! Now he says I have to pay in cash (knowing this is EVIL!) AVOID AVOID AVOID DISHONEST PEOPLE
