These guys were great. After hearing what happened they totally rectified the situation and threw in an oil change with it. Great group of mechanics who are not trying to screw anyone. I appreciate the help they gave and will be going back to them for more work.
Is this why you called twice to reconcile my bad experience? I am glad I did not answer. It is important for others to know that I was mistreated. Ryan told me that I would have to pay $42 for the failed smog test and that I would have to pay another $42 to be re-tested if I did not get my car serviced there. Another thing, I got two more opinions on my vehicle and need no repairs. I passed smog with flying colors. It is upsetting that your shop tried to take advantage of my business.
Business response:
Wow...... this is absolutely not what happened. You came in to have a smog inspection and unfortunately your car failed due to a cracked/exhaust leak at your exhaust manifold. We also told you that by law, you can choose any repair facility to do the repairs, including your mechanic that you said you normally go to. And under the circumstances, we would do perform a second test at no charge. When we told you however that you were obligated to still pay for the initial smog test, you full tilt freaked out on us. We calmly inf... read more
Highly recommend this place. Matt and Ryan are always straight with me about what I need done and how long I can put it off, patient to explain anything I don't understand, and super accommodating to my needs. I started taking my '98 Tacoma here for routine work and have had 2 emergency fixes, once for the engine misfiring and another for what turned out to be a cracked radiator. Both times they were able to get me in right away, diagnose the problem, and get it fixed within the day. In the case of the radiator, I called to ... read more
Great timely, honest service. Does the appropriate service the right way without over charging.
Absolutely the best auto repair facility I have dealt with!! We have have had the unfortunate situation arise with two cars that we have had breakdown and had to get towed in. Never a fun situation when you have to pay for unexpected auto repairs but Matt and Ryan have always gone above and beyond to make things better. They are completely honest with you from the start and give you detailed information of what exactly is being done. No surprises, no strong up-sell tactics here. Just honesty and great recommendations for fut... read more
I brought my car here for an oil change and a smog test and they did both for a cheap price in a very short amount of time. The customer service here was absolutely phenomenal. Matt did an amazing job helping me out and making sure I had a pleasant time. Definitely coming here from now on.
Ryan's a nice guy but I question his charges and the work of his mechanics. I spent over $2000 in repairs for my van at Allied Gardens Automotive, but when I took it to another garage they said that Ryan over charged me and also my brake flush was never done. From now on ladies, even gents, get other quotes and check your mechanic's work. Ryan never called me back after I wanted to come in to have him check my brake fluid. This place also closes at 1700, and there's no where to park, no courtesy shuttle and I only live a cou... read more
I recently took both of my cars here. My Toyota needed AC service and these guys did a great job at a good price. My other car needed a new radiator fan and it was done on the same day since I used night drop off. They give you your options, explain things well and don't try to rip you off. The mechanics are friendly and extremely knowledgeable.
Been taking our cars here for a long time. Jeff is the most pleasant, fair,reliable "mechanic" experience we've EVER had.
